Record transactions and coin receptor readings to verify the amount of money collected.

“Record transactions and coin receptor readings to verify the amount of money collected.” is a supplemental task performed by Subway and Streetcar Operators. Among the occupation's 12 rated tasks, workers place it 1st by importance (#12 most important).

This is a single occupation-specific task statement from O*NET. The figures below describe how central the task is to the job and what independent studies measure about AI and this kind of work — not a prediction that the task will be automated.

AI exposure

The OpenAI / Eloundou “GPTs are GPTs” study rates this task E1. Direct exposure — a language model could plausibly cut the time to do this task by at least half.

Exposure measures whether a model could meaningfully speed the task up — it is an estimate of overlap with model capabilities, not a measure of whether the work will be done by software. The study's intermediate score (β) for this task is 1.00. Automation potential label: T3.
