| Abstract | This report presents the findings of an evaluation of electronic registering fareboxes in use at four transit systems: Dallas Transit, Phoenix Transit, Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority, and the Metropolitan Suburban Bus Authority of East Meadow, New York. Performance measures were developed to assess farebox accuracy, reliability, maintainability, security and installation and operating costs. Data collected from the transit systems in each of these areas is presented along with discussions of the types of problems which have been experienced with the electronic registering fareboxes to date. This study is one element in an UMTA-sponsored program to achieve more uniform data collection, analysis and reporting among the transit systems and to improve communications about fare collection problems. |
