Teachers as agents for school fare scheme in Boston

Principals, masters and a business agent handle strips of 10 tickets for 50 cents, countersigned by masters and pupils to deter misuse. Officials say the arrangement, made at the Elevated’s request, requires no advance funds and will push half fare if laws change.
