Greater Greater Washington has been talking about streetcars all week long and today’s entry on how to handle paying for fares on streetcars is definitely interesting. When we were recently in San Francisco, you could buy tickets from kiosks, or from the driver, or use their SmarTrip-wannabe system, which made for a lot of sense. More ways is better, but should we put it on an honor system like GGW thinks we should? I can see this being abused, but I also like the idea of more ways to pay, rather than just the driver.
What do you think for our eventual streetcar system?
