If you get off at 125th, then the fare to 125th suffices.No it does not. The ticket to 125th is not valid on a train with an "R" at 125th. It is the same as trying to use an off peak ticket on a peak train. The conductor could offer to step the ticket up to the first stop outside NYC, similar to stepping an off peak to a peak, but the initial ticket is equally invalid. That said a good solution that would make a lot of people happy (for outbound trips at least) would be a situation where the first 2 cars are closed until 125th, then they open only those cars at 125th. Everyone boarding at 125th gets a fresh shot at good seats and people trying your bullshit take an hourlong detour to Connecticut, and get to meet with MTA police if they do not pay for the ride (to avoid people using this to get discounted rides to Stamford). |
