[Nfbc-info] Pictures on compass card

[Lisa Irving via Nfbc-info]

Jim,


One of the many reasons I belong to this organization is because people like
you and Tim offer another point ofview. I wholeheartedly agree with your
point of view. I also think there is some degree of truth about my
perceptions. It seems to me the meeting of the minds is to implement a
different colored card that distinguishes it as a subsidized card. San
Diegans who meet the qualifying criteria for subsidized bus passes are
charged a seven-dollar fee to have their photo taken. Finally, It makes more
sense to mandate that every COMPASS Card holder is required to have a
photograph on their card. Also, it's another way for MTS and SANDAG to
generate revanew if everyone pays for a photo on their bus pass. What do you
think, Jim? Thanks for helping me to be a better person.

Hey Lisa,

Isn't more likely that the message is "if the compass card is subsidized,
we're going to ask for additional proof that it's yours?"

If you buy a full fare card and loan it to someone else, they don't care.
If you buy a subsidized card and loan it to someone else, they very much
care.

Very curious to know how you see this.

Jim
