[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why are they letting them on the bus? When I was a teenager and I didn't have enough money for the bus they didn't let me on and I was going to WORK. [/quote]

Did you just try boarding the bus anyway?[/quote]

Well back then I didn't know what the fare was I think it was $1.40-$1.80? maybe but you had to have exact change too. Forget about it if you had crumpled $1 bills. There was no websites to get this information from. Not at all like today. [/quote]

Back then, the price was clearly posted.  In addition, they were happy to take 2 crumpled $1 bills.

You can't possibly be suggesting that bus drivers interview riders and then make a judgement call as to whether they are going to someplace deemed important like WORK before deciding.  Or maybe you mean the opposite, and someone going to WORK which generates money to pay for the fare should be not allowed, and someone going somewhere like a WIC appointment should be allowed?
