SEPTA, unlike NYC, accepts dollar bills on its buses. I don't know
why NYC's fareboxes aren't set up to handle that.


Because it's time consuming and a pain in the ass. Dropping change in
is easy and you can use dollar coins - though I suppose the downside to
dollar coins is about the only place I can readily find them is in
transit vending machines.


I'm amazed you still use one dollar bills. Why haven't they been phased
out?
