I believe we have cracked barcode technology...while the machines could be configured to capture old tickets (like PATH turnstiles do does with one-trip ride tickets), the best course of action would be to issue all tickets with QR codes (like NJTransit now does). Riders activate their tickets by scanning the barcode at a fare gate or standalone platform reader. Conductors verify the ticket is valid by scanning the barcode with their RR-issued phones (which are already equipped with special barcode scanners for mobile ticket verification).Changing the ticket would void the original ticket...if you went to scan the original ticket at a fare reader, it would be rejected. If you were caught with only the voided ticket onboard, you would be subject to the full penalty fare. |
