It was an SBS inspection. Those passengers should have had a paper receipt from the curbside machines (but I didn't notice anybody who used paper on this particular inspection).My top complaint in all of this is that the bus has to freeze in position during the inspections. I don't know why they can't do this while the bus is in motion. Just get off at the next stop and go back. Also, nobody can try to leave while in between stops. In this case it was a fairly full bus and I think it was 4 inspectors with 2 guarding the doors, and 2 walking the vehicle, making the whole process take about 2 or 2.5 minutes, but that's still a big cut into whatever time savings SBS provides. Later on if we get systemwide POP and they do an inspection on a quiet bus with 6 or 7 people on it, then it won't matter much. |
