In the past fifty years, virtually every aspect of mass transit fare collection has changed. We have seen magnetic ticketing, chip card-based ticketing, credit and ATM card payment options for high value tickets and passes and on the bus we have seen several generations of on-board "farebox" products. The one aspect of bus-based fare collection that has not changed is the processing of revenue after it is taken from the bus. A new development in this area is taking place and this paper will cover the economic, security, and operational aspects of moving in a new direction.
