| Abstract | This report presents the findings of an evaluation of electronic registering fareboxes in field testing at the Detroit Department of Transportation. Thirty-two fareboxes were tested on one bus route, Woodward Avenue, which was selected because it generates a high volume of dollar bills. The farebox specification called for a 600 bill cashbox capacity. The report presents measures of the farebox's performance in stemming revenue losses due to short fares as well as its accuracy, reliability, and maintenance labor requirements. 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 issues such as bill handling. |
