More reliable way to collect fares (5)
I believe the answer is:
safer
'more reliable' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are comparative adjectives. Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'way to collect fares' is the wordplay.
'fares' can be anagrammed to 'SAFER'.
However, I am unsure how this is indicated.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for safer that I've seen before include "Less endangered" , "Less dangerous" , "Less adventurous" , "Less hazardous" , "Fears (anag)" .)
