Look. We replaced individual guards on elevated cars w/MU door control a century ago. We don't manually punch paper tickets on the subway. A single conductor for door control, a human to hail in emergency, (some subway systems have emergency intercoms so pax can speak to the T/O), is fine. The fare collection should all be tag, tag at readers on the platforms. A few fare checkers, certainly not as skilled or highly paid as a conductor, can do random POP sweeps. The idea is for the sweeps to hit the sweet spot of deterrence w/o being every car on every train. |
