I HATE the idea of photo permits. I just don't like the idea of having to obtain permission to take a photograph of a publically visable and accessible passanger vehicle.

Having said that...

I could live with such a proposal for the forseeable future, providing:

It financially benefits worthy and deserving organizations, such as the Transit Museum and the nation's trolley/rail/bus museums

A premium version of the permit which would be valid nationally (i.e., other US transit systems), for a longer time period (2-3 years) for a slightly higher price

A transit employees' version which would allow for the photographing of vehicles on transit property FOR STRICTLY PERSONAL, NON-COMMERCIAL, NON-PUBLISHABLE USE (depot, car barns)

It is easy to apply for and renew every year, or two, or three (in person, via mail, or the Internet)

Under those circumstances, I could live with such a proposal.

Hey, if all else fails, let's give it a shot.
