Metro's world-class fare collection system

via Laurence Simon:

The farebox on the 9 bus this morning (#3331) was broken and covered up with a world-class plastic bag.

I see this at least twice a week. Roughly, that's a 10% failure rate.

I was shocked to see a Barneyfife on the platform at the Downtown Transit Center, but he was doing his best to keep warm, not to check fares.

Since it's the Christmas season, Metro should use festive gift bags to cover the boxes when they aren't working.
