I rode #2969 on the Bx30 yesterday; same exact problem! Farebox was busted, everyone rode for free. One passenger complained that all of the vintage buses should let EVERY rider ride for free. |

Why do you say it's awesome? It's an "ok" photo, sharp, in focus, etc., but hardly "AWESOME". I think you have *really* low standards. But if that makes you feel better about yourself, then go for it. |

Or am I misremembering it.But then again, fareboxes do malfunction normally on the modern buses, so it's not much to write home about. |

While "complaining" about it is a bit excessive, I don't think they have much to lose by making the vintage buses free. They only run a few trips a day during the holiday season, and it may make things easier for people by not having to wire the buses up for the current fareboxes. |

NYC transit policy is a bus continues in service if the farebox malfunctions mid-trip. The bus then must be swapped off ASAP either at the end of the line or if there is a "swing" bus available. |

Use to be that we sent buses out with no fareboxes only if the run was a short tripper. But this all changed when Mr Walder came on board.The story is he got on a Manhattanville bus downtown and when he tried to insert his ID into the farebox the operator not knowing who Mr Walder was yet told him its OK the farebox is down. Needless to say Mr Walder went into a fit and it was discovered that the operator failed to call the command center to inform them his farebox was out of service. So down came the edict, no buses leave the depot with bad fareboxes and if the farebox breaks down midtrip the bus remains in service but must be swapped immediately without disrupting our customers. In addition, when pulling out in the mornings B/O must log in and print out a transfer and give it to the yard dispatcher who in turn gives the stack to the g/s at the end of the day. |
