If he had a ticket to 125th st, say off peak, and the train he was on was peak & listed in the public timetables as stopping at 125th St to recieve passengers only, the conductor would be within his right to "step up" the ticket to Mt Vernon peak without charging him with the on board penalty, since he already had a ticket. But in the real world, this rarely happens since the conductor might not get to him on a crowded rush hr train.
Or just takes the ticket & moves on with a "I'll let you slide this time..." speech. If the conductor dosen't get to him, 125 St, doors open, he gets off...with a good unpunched ticket.
Then goes downstairs to the ticket office for a cash refund!
Thats the way things were done in 2011 when I left.
