How are select buses allowed to enforce fare proof once you get off the bus? It’s one thing for them to check when you are on the bus but are you obligated to stop and provide a receipt on request once you get off the bus? Don’t people have things to do without stopping for inspectors once they are off the bus? What is the law concerning that can someone just walk away? What if they misplaced their ticket or left it on the bus once you aren’t there anymore how can they lawfully stop you and ticket you?
I never heard of that.
The only time I needed fare proof is if I paid with coins and then needed a transfer to a different busRW: Where have you ever heard that they stop people who already got off the bus and are on the public street?
RW, maybe you are still on their property? But sounds like a good observation to avoid moris ayn and be careful about carrying a ticket till the end. This is, after all, probably not just a private company but is subsidized by the government, aka our taxes. Shmuel’s father was careful to keep orphans’ money in a hiding place as a middle layer between two of his own money – top for the thieves and bottom for water damage.
welcome to crazy town
The purpose of the select bus service is to improve bus speed and reliability, as well as enhance the customer experience, by having customers pay for tickets prior to boarding.
This allows the customer to enter any of the bus doors and also removes the slow wait for customers to pay while boarding.
To show your ticket to the bus inspector on the way out of the bus is a small inconvenience compared to the time saved.
Regarding the legality, your questions are good and you can ask a lawyer.
Before the “Rav Kav” became the only way to pay to ride a bus in Israel, you got a receipt that said clearly you need to hold onto it for inspection. Inspectors still have a right to check your Rav Kav to see if you paid.
I’ve never used SBS, but I would imagine it says on the ticket that you need to hold onto it for inspection.
Grow up.
To rightwriter: You cannot call yourself rightspeller until you learn the differences between “busses” and “buses”. The former means two or more kisses, the latter means two or more motor vehicles capable of carrying many passengers.
huju: busses is a valid variant spelling of buses. In fact, until the 1960s, busses was the default spelling in the dictionary.
In my time, I got a transfer to another bus which I would not get if not paid or the bus card has the payment on it, so the transfer was not required.
“Where have you ever heard that they stop people who already got off the bus and are on the public street?”
I have personally had an NYPD officer demand to see my proof of payment after disembarking from the bus. I didn’t mind; I despise the fare evaders.
RW > Charlie Hall how does you showing the NYPD officer your receipt stop the fare evaders?
If police were to stop a shady person, the other evaders would say – I do not look as shady as him.
But now evaders saw that NYPD can stop even a person in an impeccable suit and beard, so they got scared. Deterrence effect. NYPD knows that.Charlie Hall how does you showing the NYPD officer your receipt stop the fare evaders?
Do you think they have roach hakodesh to know who the fare evaders are?
AAQ: Is that also why TSA agents do a patdown and hand search on little old ladies at the airport while letting the Arab guys go through unmolested?
ujm, probably! While I am not aware of purposefully unchecked Arabs, it would be an easily exploited vulnerability to have some category of passengers unchecked. One of the British Arabs in the 80s, I think, exploited his pregnant Irish girlfriend. He gave her some long excuse why they need to travel separately to E’Y to meet there to get married, and put a timed bomb into her luggage on London-Tel-Aviv flight. She behaved totally not suspicious because she was not aware of anything. Somehow, her story sounded weird to the British security officer despite checking her things a couple of times.
