Paper transfers

From the Trib# 159: "They should eliminate transfers, I always see people passing transfer cards to others when get off the bus."

The board action 4/13 does just that. Not only do paper transfers lend themselves to fraud, they contribute significantly to slower buses and high cash-processing costs. Under the proposed fare plan, nobody will see a fare increase if they switch to our most efficient fare media -- Chicago Cards and passes on the rail system, all non-cash fares on the bus system.
