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

Farebeating rates are about even, in some cases less, than line-up-singe-file-like-kindergartners procedures

Those Japanese providers don't fuck around with POP and as far as I know they're not plagued by fare-dodgers either

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

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
