The minimum fare is to the trains first discharge stop.Actually, the minimum fare on a New Haven train is $2.75, which is for a one-zone intra-Connecticut trip. If you're in New York, you'll be paying considerably more than that. So if you board at Grand Central and are discharged at 125th, you owe the fare from which station to which station? You do not get to decide where that is. That is what you can't get through your thick skull. Metro-North has decided that the first stop on every northbound off-peak train and most northbound peak trains is 125th Street. If you board a train at Grand Central and disembark from that train at the first stop, which is 125th Street, then you owe the fare between Grand Central and 125th Street. Why is it so hard for you to understand that you have to pay for the trip that you take, and not for a trip that you didn't take? If a contract specifies a certain minimum purchase, then you are contractually obligated to pay for the minimum purchase, but breach of contract is not actually a crime. Since you equate loans to be paid back, as land grants were Land grants were not loans to be paid back. They were gifts of land to the railroads— the gift came with a string attached, but the cost of the string was less than the value of the land and being allowed to buy something for less than its value is a subsidy. |
