Re: Cheap ''Zone 3'' Brooklyn/LIC/HPA tickets are good beyond 9/1

You make a good point about how fare increases don't affect existing tickets that aren't yet expired.

I do think that their policy will dictate that a Zone 3 ticket is for Zone 3. But, the PR nightmare would be horrible, and they'll probably honor them.

I'm guessing that making Atlantic and Hunterspoint/LIC Zone 3 was just an easier process than implementing some discount system.

As an aside, I have gotten so used to the station names here (instead of zones - though I know my zone 2 Metro North tickets are good for the entire Bronx and not just the station on the ticket) that when I went to Boston years ago I was dumbfounded trying to travel from North Station to Beverly. The system asked for the zone I was traveling to, not the station (this was before their mobile app). Nowhere on my printed ticket did it say Beverly, it just said zone 3. On a trip last weekend, I used the app, which was searchable by station name, but again, the ticket in the app simply said zone 3, nothing else.
