Exact Fare Only
Joe Patrick wrote:
I remember a visit to New York quite a few years ago when my wife and I boarded a bus (at the airport) only to learn that not only was there an exact fare of 50 cents when we had no US money smaller than a $5 bill, but that I couldn't use paper money even to pay for two fares at once. As I recall, one of the passengers already on the bus kindly changed my $5 for five $1's, and another passenger then gave me four quarters (25 cents, you know) for that. When I was in NY last August I asked why it was no paper money and they said that the machines that suck out the money would simply shread the paper money There is a $1 coin but I haven't seen one for ages, don't think it caught on. |
