LIRR ten-trip question |
|
|
Posted by Spider-Pig on Wed Oct 29 13:54:30 2014 What if I use a off-peak ten-trip ticket on a peak train? How does that work? |

Yeah I've seen people on Columbus Day get on peak trains with off-peak tickets. The C/Rs expect it I suppose -- they even make announcements to be prepared to pay the step up, everyone carrying off-peak tickets. I suppose the nicer ones will announce it before the train leaves the terminal, if there is time. |

I'd rather not spend the cash, but it beats missing the train or paying the on-board surcharge for a brand-new peak ticket. |

LIRR has a 10 trip peak but there is no discount just the convenience of not having to buy individual tickets. |

Correct, you have a ticket just not the right one so there is no on board penalty charge.No, not really. I imagine, but have not 100% verified, that there are plenty of other "not the right tickets" you could have but still have to pay the on board penalty charge. |

Like tickets for the wrong railroad?I've always wondered, however, how they would react if you had, say, a Riverhead-to-Greenport ticket and you got on at Penn Station. Would the onboard surcharge apply? |

(Don't remember which one, but) one of them charges the difference of fare, and the other charges the one way fare from the station on the ticket to destination.I asked this here in the past. |

Both railroads have the same policy - difference in fare if you have a single ride or round trip or peak 10 trip, one way fare between zones if you have a weekly/monthly pass.10 trip off peak extensions are complicated, because they're discounted. Step up fares is the difference between the peak fare and the fare you paid (off peak one way price, or 1/10 of 10 trip ticket) ALL onboard purchases, except by senior/disabled passengers or those boarding at no-TVM stations, are rounded up to the nearest dollar. |
