Sunday Randomness #125: Bus Pass Evolution



A Short Jump In the Evolution of a Bus Pass: Paper to Plastic And Punch Card to Electronic Chip.

The new plastic card with electronic chip is the April 2012 card.


Before: show monthly bus pass to driver or transit officer.  After: tap on and tap off at electronic readers found as you get on and off the bus and/or electronic readers at each end of  trax station platforms.  We get to pay a bit more each month for the new electronic passes but it's still cheaper than car payments, insurance, gas and maintenance.  The current adult monthly pass price is $78.50.
