A novel idea

You know how you're in the end of a line of people waiting to board a bus? I have a rather simple idea as to how to make that line up speedier. Now I know what you're all thinking: a faster line, yes please, I hate waiting so much that it makes me grumpy and then I have to take it out on the bus driver. Well, folks not to worry, I've come up with a simple solution that only requires a little bit of passenger participation.

HAVE YOUR FUCKIN' BUS FARE OUT BY THE TIME THE BUS HAS ARRIVED!!!!!

It seems that even if people have been waiting for some time for the bus to show up, they still are unprepared to board. They'll wait till they're actually on the bus, blocking people (that already have their fare ready) from getting on behind them while they dig through their bags in search of those elusive pennies. I know that this seems like work but in reality, it's really not. Think about it. By preparing your fare ahead of time, you have more space to move, no other people pushing you aside, and you also aren't under so much pressure. If everyone were prepared then I could load people on the bus in half the time and would also probably end up not being so behind schedule.

So what do you think? Is it possible? Would you guys, maybe, be interested in getting on the bus faster?
