Man, that picture takes me back. I remember putting my quarter in one of these on the 49 when I would head home from school back in fourth grade. I can't remember exactly when they switched to the new fareboxes - I think some time around when the adult fare hit $1.00.
If only I had an extra $325 lying around...

I was still rockin' the school bus in 4th grade ($Free-ninety-nine!) but come sixth grade, my mom got me a Fast Pass ($5) and sent me on my 45-min 24-Divisadero journey... Still thinking I need to do something with my stack of Fast Passes from 6th-12th grade...
I remember it was almost always the same driver on the 49 when I'd get out of school. He would never let us kids pay the fare, and if we did sometimes he'd get mad at us and threaten not to give us a transfer.
Those old buses had double forward-facing seats on both sides, like a school bus, and only some had a row of sideways-facing seats in the back.
