Passes over the years

It used to be that I’d pay my bus fare with quarters.
Then they added a dollar slot.
You could stick in a fiver, but it wouldn’t give change.
Monthly and yearly passes were cheap… then discontinued.
You can get overpriced paper daily passes from the tram stops and regional centers.
After that came the electronic cards.
They handled transfers great, but it cost fifty bucks to replace when you lost one.
Finally, they made an app for fare passes.
It shows an animated picture of a bus pass with a timestamp.
Which is really easy to fake in Gimp.
