It is not something that was invented with SBS.In the 1950s and 60s, at very heavy transfer locations such as Eastern Parkway and Utica during the evening rush hour, a fare box was placed on the sidewalk near the rear door with an inspector allowing two door boarding which cut boarding time in half. Today without cash and with contactless payment coming, it would be even simpler. It could be done at selected locations like major terminals and would be more cost effective than constantly increasing the number of fare inspectors each time you add an SBS route. |
