New York City's efforts to speed up its buses may be hindered by an unexpected issue: fare checks. Despite a push to increase the pace of public transportation in the city, many buses are being slowed down by the time-consuming process of checking passengers' fares. According to reports, the checks are taking up to a minute per bus, which can add up to significant delays, especially during peak hours. As the city continues to grapple with traffic congestion and overcrowding, the impact of these delays on commuters is likely to be a major concern, and officials may need to find a solution to balance security with efficiency.
