New fare box busted? Don't call us!

They have installed "refurbished" but the supervisors cannot fix them so don't call in, write a work card.  Unbelievable!

Remember:

MAX gets the new stuff. Like lots of new TVMs (that just don't accept cash).

Bus gets the crappy hand-me-downs.

Why, of course, Erik!
Could we ever expect anything different?

I happen to be interested in this subject so I have some knowledge. They are supposed to be "as new" and were much much cheaper than completely new ones.

BTW, that file is missing from their Web page of old resolutions:

Here is why the bus farebox really doesn't matter... I think they're close to #1 on the list, they appearently call themselves "Portland Metro Area (TriMet)"
