bus conductor

Transit fare collector

A bus conductor is a crew member who collects fares and issues tickets to passengers, distinct from the driver.

Once common on urban buses, conductors would move through the vehicle taking payment and calling out stops.

The role has largely disappeared with the advent of automated fare systems and driver-operated buses, though it persists in some countries.
