It's possible to pay cash here, but hardly anyone does because it's almost twice as expensive that way. Almost everyone has an electronic pass that you add money to at newsstands. Then, when you get on the bus, you just pass it over an electronic reader. This system is much faster as the driver rarely has to deal with collecting money or looking at passes.
