   DC transit way ahead of NYC on this one

   Looks like they're about to reintroduce   
   the DannyPass as a bus travel standard [a]

   [a] during the initial horrors of SARS-II, dannyb was instrumental   
   in getting NYC to close off the front doors on buses, have passngers   
   enter through the rear, block off the first five rows, and thanks   
   to that decision... NYC bus drivers kept coming to work.   
      
   (If the bus system had shut down, NYC would have, too).   
      
   To give credit where due, dannyb saw Detroit announce   
   this on Tuesday, promoted it in NYC... and they prepared   
   it over the weekend
