Apologies for the ramble-ey comment - I feel that buses are an under appreciated transportation alternative. Buses are cheap compared to any mass transit alternative, but they don’t seem to get much love. I’m happy to see that someone is putting effort into making the experience better. Is Transit/someone else also looking at the other pain point of buses that is payment processing - trying to get a bus but needing exact change or a fare card is a pain, and I usually just take an Uber instead even if my trip is along a bus route.

In Sydney you can pay for busses with any debit card (or apple pay etc). These systems are available, it’s just a matter of adopting them.
