Posted by 5301 Fishbowl on Mon May 13 20:18:42 2013, in response to Re: Raritan Valley Coalition pushing for direct NJT RVL service to New York using ALP-45DPs, posted by Henry R32 #3730 on Mon May 13 19:08:15 2013. I seem to remember NJT unofficially would not lift tickets from hot cars in the summer (at least I never had mine collected while in a hot car), so they are no stranger to situational appeasement of riders.99.999% of the time, that decision is made by the crew, not management. In fact, there was one time when former NJT executive director Richard Sarles was on an RVL train that left Newark about 30 minutes late due to late connections from NY Penn. The crew decided to appease the riders and not collect the tickets, and Sarles actually turned the crew in... I forget what the puinishment was... That said, every time I have seen a customer argue with NJT over a fare there was nothing even resembling a legitimate reason. Pickle analogy: It's like they walk into a restaurant and demand free pickles (without ordering anything), and refuse to leave until they have gotten a jar of them, all the while making your paying customers uncomfortable. Exactly my point why the "give them the pickle" crap does not apply to train passengers... |
