There's nothing quite like seeing a thread full of people gloating about evading POP fare inspectors to remind me how stupid POP fare collection is
-
-
Japan doesn't need to fuck around with PoP because they have trains where in the west we have buses
-
They don't use POP on buses either dude, just the same fare media they use on the trains
-
My point is that Japan's buses are not extremely high ridership, so slow fare payment is not as much of an issue
-
Tapping a suica isn't exactly slow payment
-
Even paying with cash is much faster than here because instead of feeding coins/bills one at a time, you can just dump all your coins in at once and the machine will read it
-
There is also the matter of most buses charging your fare when you *exit* instead of when you board, so boards are streamlined
