Posted by Broadway Lion on Thu Aug 16 07:57:47 2012, in response to LIRR Fare Ripoff Hoax..., posted by aaron on Wed Aug 15 20:07:35 2012. Time to go to a swipe-on / swipe-off system and leave the excess trainmen on the platform.You get on at Babylon and it charges you for a trip to Manhattan (where you do not need to swipe to leave the train), If you get off sooner, you swipe again and the charge is revised to the correct fare to that station. Homebound you do not need to swipe in Manhattan, you only need to swipe when you get off, and are charged for a trip from Manhattan, if you get on at Baldwin then you have to swipe-on and are only charged to where you get off. Commutation tickets are valid between two named stations and only the commutation fare is charged. Any other station and a full-fare is charged. ROAR |
