Posted by Jackson Park B Train on Fri Jul 29 22:27:25 2016, in response to Re: Of Roads and Rails, posted by WillD on Fri Jul 29 21:31:34 2016. In the 50s Pittsburgh did P(ay)A(s)Y(ou)E(nter inbound, and P(ay)A(s)Y(ou)L(eave) on streetcars in order to soak up homeward bound crowds in the CBD or at plants/factories, while riders in residential areas were always incremental. FWIW they have recently abolished that system, go figure.Putting TVMs out all over is costly; migrating as many riders as possible to stored value cards/passes solves most of the issue. SF was already 2/3 non-cash payments several years ago. In the SF Bay Area, one can put value on clipper at Walgreens among others as well at TVMs in BART and MUNI stations. |
