lol.. japan works this way round.. they board from back doors and
gett off from front doors if im not wrong.. lols
Yes, but the problem is in the Japanese society, the citizens
move slower and in a more polite way, so there is little
skirmish...
Plus some buses require you to take a small slip when boarding
to pay for the correct fare according to the didigtal billboard in
the front of the bus, so when everyone takes the slip, its more
like tapping the ez-link card but in a longer time frame, so its
much slower still.
The good about this system is that the cash payment would be
when you alight, smart card deductions same as Sg, and the delay
would only when someone wants to get off, but its minimal because
everyone know how much to pay before alighting (billboard fare
changes before reaching station).
For example if I board at stage 4, the ticket will show '4' on
it, and when I alight at stage 8, the billboard will show the fare,
like 200 yen, then I can get ready 200 yen to put into the coin
machine. When at stage X, the board shows stage 1 to X-1. Very
simple and nice to see system.
