But what's a foot collector? What's the quota, a mile a day?

EDIT:

"I started working with the CTA in 1979 as a conductor on the elevated line and the subway which are rapid transit passenger trains. I also worked as a motorman, a ticket agent, a switchman, a foot collector (witch means collecting money from the ticket agents after they collected from the passengers) riding the train getting from one part of Chicago and suburbs to another."

Many years ago, I had to ride the CTA buses and trains daily.  The experience was rarely pleasant, but at least they only asked for my money or tokens, and not my feet.

I would imagine a Foot Collector is the guy walking around collecting fares.
