The Jonesboro Economic Transit System is working on fixing a fare-collecting system that has been malfunctioning. Director Steve Ewart says revenue numbers have been down this year from last year because of the software glitches. While numbers of riders continue to increase, the number of fares that have been collected are lower than this time last year. Ewart says some rides have been given away because of the failures. Two motherboards will be shipped to Chicago for repairs over the next two weeks. In other news, Ewart says JETS has surveyed all 135 bus stops in Jonesboro to be placed on GPS devices for easy location. He says the next step in the future is to place this on a smartphone app where buses can be easily tracked. He says a tight budget is preventing him from placing software in the central transfer station to show riders where the busses are and when they will pick up and drop off at the transfer station. That could happen later this year, depending on how the budget looks.
