Also interesting they're adding a new stop on the 203 at Maple Grove / Beaverdale (aka middle of nowhere). I thought the new subdivision being built there was further west near Speedsville Road?
If you build it, they will come.
I've only come across the new fare boxes and handful of times, but do others find the printing times of the new transfers excessively long (upwards of 30 seconds)?
Maybe fare boxes I've seen and used were just having a bad day, but to me that has the potential to create some operational delays beyond even the learning curve of the new machine.
If you get just 10 cash or ticket fares on a route suddenly you're 5min behind schedule.
They seem pretty quick with reading the barcode, but the actual print time seems slow.
Everyone move to the back of the bus and we all get home faster.
