If and when NYCT adopts Smartcards the problem would disappear - roving 'revenue control officers' (as they now seem to be called here in the UK) can be equipped with portable readers that can read the Smartcard and detect those who do not have valid authority for that particular journey on their card. In London these devices already exist, for roving inspectors to check Oyster cards.Checking magnetic strip cards (like Metrocards) this way wouldn't be possible, though, as the card does not carry its own history of swipes on it. In London this problem is avoided by making the magnetic-strip tickets human-readable (so that bus drivers can check One-Day Travelcards, for example). |
