They couldve saved much time and money by simply having it at the front doors. Now they will have to deal with future technical issues and risks of fare evasion/lost revenue.
I was in Vancouver last weekend. They have Compass (their Presto) readers at all doors on buses and trolleys, but I only ever saw the front doors open. Granted, I only went on a handful of rides and none were during rush hour. I imagine they save all door boarding for rush hours or when they have Transit Enforcement officers present. I did take one trolley where a TE officer was near the front ensuring that everyone paid or tapped. Anyway, perhaps the TTC could limit rear door entry to busy times.
