I bet a transit system can save a lot of money by eliminating the overhead costs of fare collection.

- ghaff 3y agoI'm not sure that's true any longer. At one point, I've read, fare collection on toll roads used to chew up about 50% of the money paid. In general these days, payment for transit and roads is largely automated and self-service. It's not free to collect but I'm sure the economics have changed.
