[CA, US]三藩巿唐人街爭先恐後中門上車逃票實錄 (10p)

其實係MUNI比較嚴重,BAY AREA其他TRANSIT唔太覺有咁既問題,
仲有係MUNI既月票其實算係幾平,以我所知如果住三藩市既市民買月票仲好似係平多十蚊,
SO好多唐人都會買月票搭車,而我亦都幾相信相中既唐人好多都買左月票,只係唐人埠既巴士線真係太多人搭,所以D人都慣左係咁樣上車法....

我都覺得係有monthly thicket 或者係 transfer d 人先咁上車...
正常在外面唐人算係最守規矩個d人來ga wor
TTC (TORONTO) 繁時都係各大分站頭出STAFF 去俾持monthly thicket 或者係 transfer 既人由中門上車啦

In seattle, if you are in downtown free ride zone, you can basically get on board the bus on any doors...but after 7, you can only use the front door.  Also, I think alot of US bus drivers dun wanna go through the trouble of asking those fare dodges to pay for the bus fare...(remember Mark Mclaughlin incident 10 years ago, where the King County Metro bus driver was attacked and flew off SR99 Viaduct).  Those duty are left to the Transit Police to enforce.

I think the fare enforcement really depends on the city. I live in Portland, OR. The rear door is relatively narrow so you hardly can get off the bus from there either. And the design of the rear door is that you have to push from the inside. So, you really cannot dodge the fare. Also, the fare inspector will do random check on buses or MAX to see if passengers have tickets or not outside Fareless Square. I once was on the bus, and everyone got a fare inspection on Hawthorne Bridge, which is the first stop outside Fareless Square, leaving downtown, in Portland. And guess what, if you do not have a ticket, you will get a hefty fine. As far as I remember, fare inspector rarely shows up in San Francisco.

個尾門由司機開關？美加的巴士唔係有人企係後門的梯級上先開門的麼？

Yup, I sensed that when I was in PDX too, there are fare inspecter on board of Max and Buses...but in Seattle, that's rarly happen.  even on the LINK, i saw it once and 1/2 of the passenger got ticketed because they seems to have no clue on how to pay for the ride.  Also, i've been using ORCA card since June, and I found that 1/2 the time, the driver don't even turn on the reader, and just let me go....

btw, I live in both Seattle and Lake Oswego, OR.

Some cities do have that, in Seattle, it's operate by the Bus operator, also, after 7pm the rear door will not be in use for safety reasons and the Downtown free zone will turn to normal fare zone.

真係要睇你向邊個CITY,好似BAY AREA咁,唔同既公司都唔同
好似AC TRANSIT,舊既巴士,司機係要拉門制開左後門既LOCK,後門上面既綠燈著左,再由乘客用手推開後門落車,而後門如果唔用手推住係會即時彈埋,到開車時司機再拉門制LOCK返到門
新車就係司機開左LOCK之後,再由乘客按門隔離既制開門,開門之後直到司機按制先會關門,而司機係可以直接張門打開而唔需要乘客按制都得

MUNI就係司機開左個LOCK之後,乘客要推一推門上面既桿,咁先開到門,而門前既兩級樓梯上面係有感應器,當冇人經過時就會自動關門
