New ID Cards
As you have undoubtedly noticed, we have begun distribution of new ID cards to all Bronx Science Bus Service riders. The cards are based on RFID technology, similar to E-Z Pass®. This system is designed to ensure the safety of all paying riders in these new times of heightened security. Our new system is being rolled out at the end of this school year to test and work out any difficulties. The complete system will be fully operational by the start of the 2004 -2005 school year. In September no rider will be permitted to board the bus without a valid ID, this policy will apply to morning, and all afternoon runs.
