Collecting fares on buses. It's a huge back up issue to have each passenger tap card, error, re tap load money, flatten bills etc vs walking directly on bus one after another. It causes back up in traffic and delays bus timetables to load buses and even more exacerbated for n popular routes or rush hour.

They had betas for cash less, temp no fares etc but nothing came from it.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen someone pay cash into a bus fare box. Usually the driver just tells them to go sit and not hold anyone up.

Yeah that's the work around/response to keep things moving.

That is the fare system for the RideOn FLASH BRT system. Payment kiosks for the buses are on the platforms.
