The entire bus system can be part of the solution, but not until the MTA can implement a 'smart card' system to replace the MetroCard. The need to put machines at SBS stops is expensive and results in a cumbersome process. Once the new system is in place, distribute cards and make them readily available to all riders. Work with area merchants to give riders plenty of outlets to refill cards. Then, install card readers at all doors on every MTA bus to allow riders to tap the reader upon boarding to register their payment (enforcement personnel could have readers that can scan cards to confirm payment). |
