Seven Metrobus fareboxes are breaking down per day while buses are picking up passengers, according to a new Metro report, likely losing the transit agency untold numbers of fares as it struggles with reduced ridership and flagging finances.

Metro logged 924 work orders to fix or maintain fareboxes in the month of May, out of 1,479 buses, the report said. That would mean 62 percent of fareboxes needed repairs, unless some broke down more than once.
