My 2 cents from a NY perspective, is that the arguments in favor are 1. Faster load times, 2. Bus drivers don’t really enforce it already which leads to 3. Lessens the chance of people assaulting them which is sadly an issue and 4. Many do a free transfer to the subway anyway.

Of course, my rebuttal is that most if not all of this can also be solved with a proof-of-payment system.

Maybe New York should try opening the rear doors on their buses, a feature that they paid for and then refused to turn on for some reason.
