farebox
Bus payment receptacle
A farebox is the receptacle on a bus or transit vehicle where passengers deposit their fare—coins, bills, or tickets.
The term extends to transit revenue generally: farebox recovery measures what percentage of operating costs passenger fares cover.
The city's farebox revenue declined as ridership dropped.
