You have paid the fare, but got on the wrong train.Does it stop at 125th? Can you physically exit at this station? Unless the answer to either question is no, then you got on the right train. The railroad has the right to penalize for your mistake (getting on the wrong tran). Whether the railroad has the contractual right to charge you $2.75 is irrelevant— they can't sue you for an amount so small and they can't have you arrested for refusing to pay because breach of contract isn't actually a crime. This subthread is based on AlM's claim that you can be (legitimately) arrested for refusing to pay the $2.75 which is utter nonsense. A mistake that could have been avoided if the public timetable was followed which clearly indicates recieve only & not discharge passengers. I'm actually tempted to ride a New Haven train from Grand Central to 125th now. I'd love to see the looks on everyone's face as they see me step off, indignantly screaming: "You can't possibly be here! There is an 'R' on a piece of paper!" |
