However, there is one small problem with off board payment is that five second window of when it displays that "Thank You" message, no one needs it first of all and quickly change to the goddamn start screen so I can insert the Metrocard. At hectic bus stops like a subway transfer or even a bus transfer, you have many people coming all out at once and everybody wants to get to their destination and those seconds sure add up per passenger. The further you are at the end of the line, the greater your chances are of missing the bus. However, I do agree that people should be getting their tickets if they decide to ride SBS, many passengers at my stop are making the choice to get it either way but when a local counterpart comes, they dip their metro card........, just hand the receipt to the driver, most will understand.
