Posted by Charles G on Sun Feb 17 18:00:56 2008, in response to Re: Air Train question, posted by AlM on Fri Feb 15 17:25:40 2008. I think a far more outrageous inequity is the morning peak fare on MNRR reverse commutes. That one also hits the poorest rail commuters in the NY area the hardest. It costs at least 100 times as much in unfair charges as the AirTrain situation.The peak fare during the outbound reverse peak only applies to riders boarding at GCT and 125 -- both of which have plenty of people boarding the trains who can very well afford to pay the steeper fares. Passengers boarding at stations in the Bronx pay an "Intermediate" fare regardless of the time of day and that fare appears quite reasonable. For example, a one-way from Fordham to Mamaroneck is $2.75, or $23.50 for a 10 trip ticket. My experience in riding is only with the New Haven line, but my observation is that the heaviest reverse-peak boarding is at Fordham for the local trains to Stamford. Often there are more passengers boarding there than there were getting on at GCT. |
