The time it took to board dramatically increased when the fare rose to 15 cents and tokens were not accepted on buses until much later. I remember half the passengers boarding with quarters and needing change. I believe the bus drivers also accepted dollar bills which they simply put away separately until exact fare in 1969 when they were no longer accepted.Each time the fare rose first to 20 cents, then 30, and 35, the boarding process slowed even more until tokens were accepted. I remember it taking several minutes to board when there were three or four people ahead of you. So to say that MetroCard slowed the boarding process is just incorrect. |
