Most if not all NYC busses have tap to pay now, so yes, they could tap and pay. Tracking phones that aren't paying might cause issues though.

Even without tapping, I mean. You’re within a few feet of one of those sensors for more than a minute? Thanks for your purchase (if you have credit, or a card tied to the system).

And if you don’t, it’s one line on your record, just like you were speeding or peeing on the streets. I’m not against treating buses as something we pay with taxes. But as long as we are required to buy a bus ticket, I think we should track those who don’t.

It’s a mistery to me how needlessly rude people like you get anything done in life. Have a great day.
