Most of what you say is true but some is not. Even when passengers boarded with only a dime or a dime and a nickel, boarding was actually slower than today, not quicker because prior to 1969 over half the passengers required change which the driver had to make. As the fare rose, more and more coins were required slowing boarding times even more.Also, when buses had a narrow aisle and 53 seats, internal circulation was poorer than today, not better. |
