[NEW YORK OMNIBUS 2629]

PSNJ fare collection....................

Into the 1950s, PSNJ's transit buses were equipped with fare boxes, like the streetcars (tokens were also used at one time)

By the later 1950s, these fareboxes had been replaced by bulky NCR ticket machines, which were also used on the suburban buses.

The veteran NCR registers (I have one in my collection!) made distinctive sounds that I will never forget; they lasted well into the 1980s, before being replaced by new resisters, especially on the suburban buses.....
