(KTVI) - Hop on the bus Gus, but if you do, you need exact change and no pennies. This is just one of the new rules for paying for a ride on MetroBus.
Patti Beck, Director of Communications with Metro Transit, stopped by to talk about the new changes and why there are needed.
Beck also discussed the future smart card technology, the ridership of MetroBus, and how the new changes are being received so far.
