In an attempt to resolve reliability problems, lower operation and maintenance costs, and simplify fare collection, transit authorities are focusing on their fare collection systems. Many transit properties have existing fare collection systems which are inflexible in terms of meeting special fares; such as monthly passes, elderly and handicapped fares, and fares differentiated by time of day. This study was conducted as a systems analysis of fare collection in support of the Fare Collection Research and Development program of the Urban Mass Transportation Administration. The basic objectives of the study were to: (1) evaluate how fare policies and fare structures affect the selection of fare collection equipment; (2) provide a description of existing fare collection equipment; (3) document hardware-related problems at various properties and methods used to collect reliability data; (4) describe the fare collection systems and specifications being chosen at new properties; and (5) outline the requirements of a fare collection simulation model. To develop supporting data for various aspects of the study, interviews were held with the fare collection staff of several transit properties.
