[PRCo] Re: Operator Training

<When you started, Herb, where you required to make change?  If so, did that cause a problem for some operators?>

No, change making had become a thing of the past almost all over the US do to robbery. "Ready Fare System" was the buzz phrase of the day in 1972.

<Did you ever meet an operator that could not tell time?>

No, I can't say that I have. However, here in Cleveland there was one who had a hard time learning the routes. Especially on routes with several branches such as 20/20A/20B/20C. Several times his bus and passengers who were supposed to be heading to Parma or Broadview Heights  ended up at the Zoo. I think they (management) convinced him to become a Rapid Transit Station Attendant.
