Abstract:This document is designed to give bus transit managers an up-to-date picture of fare collection equipment and systems which are designed with some degree of automation. It points the problems and potentials of automating a bus transit fare collection system. While the complexity of fully automatic fare collection on buses may not be justified, increased automation of fare collection and revenue handling will continue as fares are increased and fare structures become more complex. Information is included on registering fare boxes, transfer-issuing machines and vacuum collection systems. Self-service fare collection, widely accepted in Europe, is being introduced in the U.S. Details and justifications for these systems are discussed. A bibliography and list of equipment vendors are included.
