MTA Chairman Janno Lieber persists in rejecting all-door boarding on buses, citing concerns over fare evasion and confusion among riders regarding payment protocols. Although all-door boarding has proven to reduce bus dwell times notably, Lieber halted a planned pilot citing complexities arising from past changes, including COVID adaptations and the implementation of free bus lines. He emphasizes a need for clarity in fare requirements to prevent confusion, prioritizing strict enforcement of fare payment over potential improvements to boarding efficiency.
'I'm not going to confuse New Yorkers more with having different rules,' said Lieber, emphasizing the importance of clear fare policies to avoid rider confusion.
'We're going to stop confusing the riders and we're going to start enforcing fare payment, that's the goal,' Lieber stated, reinforcing his commitment to consistency in fare policies.
