transit token
Bus ride payment
A transit token is a coin-like object used as fare payment on public transportation systems—buses, subways, and trolleys.
Before electronic fare cards became standard, riders would purchase tokens and deposit them in turnstiles or fare boxes: I found an old subway token in my coat pocket.
Most transit systems have phased them out, making tokens collectible relics of urban history.
