Why do we have to wait until 2010 for the M15? They say they need more articulated buses, but EVERY BUS ON THE M15 is already an articulated bus.

This is a load of crap. Nobody ever pays. They get on through the back door & the lazy drivers never check. I ride this bus & see it almost daily.

SBS hell yeah! next up - First Avenue??? Maybe physically separating the lanes so that selfish cabs and other cars and trucks can't hold up a whole busfull of people trying to get to work?

Oh, duh, maybe I should read it, first: "Inspectors have issued 632 farebeating tickets to riders lacking proof-of-payment receipts since mid-July."

I don't understand how the "pay before you board" thing physically works. Do you have to go through turnstiles or something?

What political crap! They've never ridden the bus. Cars are always in the lane. The special lanes are closed to cars for very few hours and have to compete with regular bus service anyway. 48 minutes to go across town is not good time. The same drive is about 15 minutes.

Thats such a good idea with the fare paying before u get on. Thats the huge slow down, and also people exiting through the front door.
