My understanding is that you're required to retain the plastic fare media with you for the duration of the trip. I am not sure where this "rule" is written, and I don't know if it applies to paper single ride tickets. But if not, that can always be fixed.But by doing that you *are* implementing a POP system. The ticket must be retained through the length of the trip, and if it is asked for it must be presented. That is POP. It's just that, like BART, PATCO, and WMATA, you'd be using the gate to do the verification of the vast majority of tickets rather than enforcement agents. |
