new text end

new text begin The Metropolitan Council shall by August 1, 2006, install
and operate a system for collecting fares for the Hiawatha light
rail transit line that requires all passengers to (1) pay their
fare or submit proof of prepaid fare before being allowed to
board a light rail car, or (2) pay their fare or submit proof of
prepaid fare before being allowed to enter a light rail
station. A barrier-free fare collection system that uses random
on-board inspection of proof of fare payment does not satisfy
the requirements of this section.
