"When I grew up there was still the wood turnstiles," Lieber said. “Obviously, the installation of a whole new generation of turnstiles, of fare arrays, is going to take a while. But if anything is serious, you’ve got to get started.” “That is money that could be used to provide more service, more frequent service, more reliable service,” Lieber said. “It could be used to invest in infrastructure.”
“We don’t want the police enforcing fare evasion on the buses, for example,” said Roger Maldonado, who co-chaired the panel that produced the report.
