So many ways around this, first the officer with conductor present, train on platform w/doors open will ask one final time. Then the passenger (if smart) claims no funds.Why wouldn't the passenger just show their ticket? |

Conductor in Park Ave tunnel: Sorry, your ticket to 125th is no good. First stop for discharge on this train is Mt Vernon East.Passenger: I disagree. Take my ticket. Conductor: Pay an extra $3 or you'll be arrested. Passenger: No. Conductor radios MTA Police, and they happen to be at 125th so they meet the train. Passenger gets off the train. MTA Police Officer: you are under arrest for refusing to pay the required fare on this train, which is GCT to Mt Vernon East. OK, counselor, how do you argue this case? What charge (if any) is being filed? If the charge is farebeating or theft of service, then presenting your ticket to 125th would suffice. Under the circumstances, though, it's highly unlikely that the passenger would even be charged at all, in which case there's nothing to argue; you can skip straight to the false arrest suit. Unless, of course, the cop arrested the conductor instead. I hear there might be some precedent for that. |

"I think it's probably also because a longer distance train can operate with fewer conductors if they don't have to get everyone's ticket until White Plains or Croton."That occurred to me as well the other day. It's as much to keep subway and bus riders from grabbing a free ride to 125 St as anything else. If passengers are allowed to exit at 125 St, theoretically all tickets must be checked before then. Unfortunately, that may be a difficult job, especially for a small crew. Similarly, the LIRR 3-stop "no Jamaica" express runs on the Babylon line can have a minimum crew because the crew has the whole run to walk the entire train-- and they only have to check once instead of twice. |

Not only that, most peak Harlem line trains also have the R/D.If they really cared they would have to separate out the platforms at 125th - the track 4 platform could have one-way exit style subway gates. Trains that actually receive passengers at 125th can use track 2. This also leaves track 2 free for northbound movements in the afternoon. |

It's a step up, a surcharge, not much different from being on a peak train with an off peak ticket, the railroad is within its rights to do such things, and if a passenger gets unruly about it, or refuses to accept whatever Metro North's version of an ADL is, representatives of the railroad are within their rights to call the cops. None of this is remotely debatable. You could say, well, this policy doesn't really make sense. You'd be right. It would be easier to adjust the ConnDot agreement, certainly. You could have quit while you were ahead instead of loudly advertising your complete lack of reading comprehension. My three year old would probably have understood the "R" stop policy by sometime yesterday. |

If they really cared they would have to separate out the platforms at 125th - the track 4 platform could have one-way exit style subway gates.That would reduce flexibility. Currently, every track is used to board northbound passengers. Many Croton-bound trans use track 4. |

I like to think of these forums somewhat like hanging out with friends and bs-ing. I don't always agree with them, but if I did what would be the point. But even when I don't agree, or even see things from the same point of view, I try to understand and respect that persons line of thinking and how they reached those conclusions, even if I have reached a different one. You and I have not always agreed, but never in a disrespectful manner. We may see things from a different vantage point, but at least I am confident that other vantage point is somewhere on earth. |

You have paid the fare, but got on the wrong train.Does it stop at 125th? Can you physically exit at this station? Unless the answer to either question is no, then you got on the right train. The railroad has the right to penalize for your mistake (getting on the wrong tran). Whether the railroad has the contractual right to charge you $2.75 is irrelevant— they can't sue you for an amount so small and they can't have you arrested for refusing to pay because breach of contract isn't actually a crime. This subthread is based on AlM's claim that you can be (legitimately) arrested for refusing to pay the $2.75 which is utter nonsense. A mistake that could have been avoided if the public timetable was followed which clearly indicates recieve only & not discharge passengers. I'm actually tempted to ride a New Haven train from Grand Central to 125th now. I'd love to see the looks on everyone's face as they see me step off, indignantly screaming: "You can't possibly be here! There is an 'R' on a piece of paper!" |

Posted by Nilet on Sat Aug 12 10:48:31 2017, in response to Re: On-Duty Metro-North Conductor Arrested, posted by sloth on Sat Aug 12 01:29:59 2017. It's a step up, a surcharge, not much different from being on a peak train with an off peak ticketExcept it is different. If you go to 125th on a train with an $8 fare and you pay only $6 then you haven't paid the fare. If you go to Mount Vernon on a train with a $10.75 fare and only pay $8, then you haven't paid the fare. If you go to 125th on a train with an $8 fare and pay $8, then you have paid the fare. Why is it so difficult for people to understand that you only have to pay for the trip you actually take? the railroad is within its rights to do such things They may have the contractual right to charge you an extra $2.75 but they can't have you arrested for breach of contract because that's not actually a crime. and if a passenger gets unruly about it No one said anything about the passenger getting unruly. AlM proposed only that the passenger refuse to pay for a trip from 125th to Mount Vernon that they have no intention of actually taking. You could say, well, this policy doesn't really make sense. I'm saying this policy isn't a law that you can actually be arrested for violating. If I announce my policy is that you're not allowed to use the letter "e" in this thread from now on, and you reply using that letter, can I have you arrested? I'm willing to concede that my policy makes no sense and you're free to argue that my policy is capricious, arbitrary, and absurd (though not pointless) but according to your own logic you must obey it or be arrested. I'm sure your three-year-old can understand this policy and explain it to you if you have trouble with it. |

From a previous message:"It's right up there with claiming the MTA allows you to cross between cars on 60' equipment due to the doors being unlocked." Years ago before the increased usage of air-conditioned subway cars and full-width conductor/train operator cabs on trains that use the current #1 line at the South Ferry Loop station - passengers were advised to walk from subway car to subway car to reach the first five cars of the subway trains that would stop at the South Ferry Loop station. There was even signage posted within the subway cars, as well as conductor announcements about making such a walking journey. After the usage of full-width cabs within such trains passengers headed to the South Ferry Loop station were advised to walk along the platform at the Rector Street station. The trains that travel along the former IRT lines aka "the number lines" have cars that are 51 feet in length. Mike |

If you do something in violation of a rule, that means the rule-maker has allowed it?Except that if you'll recall, we're talking about theft of service. AlM claimed that riding to 125th is "theft of service" because you're not paying for a trip to Mount Vernon. I explained that it's not theft of service to pay for a trip you didn't actually take. You stated that New Haven trains don't sell tickets to 125th, which implied you believed it was, in fact, theft of service. I asked why New Haven trains wouldn't sell the ticket, which is an important question— theft of service requires you use services without intending to pay for them; the fact that you offered payment proves you intended to pay for them. Moreover, the vendor's refusal to accept payment releases you from your obligation to pay; the law does not allow you to be kept in a state of perpetual debt by a creditor who simply refuses to accept your money. You dismissed the question and directed me to your reply to AlM where you agreed with his assessment that riding to 125th constitutes theft of service. You also posted an article carefully cropped to omit any reference to the fact that people regularly violate the R/D policy and are not arrested for it. I explained the law to you with respect to theft of service and refusal to accept payment. You responded by declaring that you're not "allowed" to ride to 125th. I explained that since Metro-North permitted you to board a train to 125th, where you exited, then they have rendered you the service of transportation to 125th. As such, you have not committed theft of service, because you received transportation to 125th and paid for transportation to 125th. Your response was nonsensical and appeared to either forget the context of the discussion (ie, theft of service) or to conflate state law with a policy the MTA established and is free to waive or rescind at any time. So, let's see if I can figure out where you went wrong. In your opinion, is it a criminal offense if: You buy a ticket from GCT to 125, board a New Haven train, and disembark at 125? You buy a ticket from GCT to 125, board a Harlem line train with an "R" for 125, and disembark there? You buy a ticket from GCT to Mount Vernon, board a New Haven train, but disembark at 125? |

As usual , you are acting like a pompous, contract lawyer, and you don't know a damned things about the subject matter.The MINIMUM fare on a New Haven train is to the first non "R" stop. PERIOD. The fact that someone decided to get off at 125th Street does not change the fact that the minimum fare for THAT train was not paid. Theft of services HAS occurred. |

Didn't I once have to explain to you what a subsidy was? As I recall, you made quite a fool of yourself in that thread. And now you're back to spew at length on a subject about which you know nothing.The MINIMUM fare on a New Haven train is to the first non "R" stop. PERIOD. The fact that someone decided to get off at 125th Street does not change the fact that the minimum fare for THAT train was not paid. Theft of services HAS occurred. Theft of service requires you to use services without intending to pay for them. If you pay for a trip from GCT to 125 and you ride from GCT to 125, then what services did you steal? You have not stolen transport from GCT to 125 because you paid for it. You have not stolen transport from 125 to points north because you didn't use it. So what services have you stolen? |

No, you proved yourself to be quite stupid in calling something a subsidy that was not with that idiotic land grant discussion, having no understanding of the revenue lost by the railroads, which had nothing to do with Buffalo Central Terminal anyway.You stole services by not paying the minimum fare. To repeat, you are: clueless, wrong, as usual, don't matter how much nonsense you write. END OF DISCUSSION. |

AlM claimed that riding to 125th is "theft of service" because you're not paying for a trip to Mount Vernon.I explained that it's not theft of service to pay for a trip you didn't actually take I never claimed that. I asked you to provide a citation that it isn't. You might actually be correct. I just contend that you haven't established it. That's what I'm not convinced the fare to 125th suffices. It could be considered theft of services: you're underpaying for your required minimum trip to Mt Vernon East means. |

He doesn't get that.When the Amtrak NEC was mostly unreserved, southbound, Newark Penn was sometimes an "R" stop. If you got on an NYPS headed to NWK witha NWK ticket on such a train, tough shit, you were charged the step up to Metropark. That fact you intended to get off at NWK was completely irrelevant. You didn't belong there. |

(Skip this post if you prefer to avoid talk of rubber-tired vehicles.)Some express bus routes duplicate local ones for long stretches. If I board the BM3 at say Ocean Avenue and Avenue W in Brooklyn, dump $2.75 in the farebox (instead of the $6.50 I'm supposed to pay for a trip I'm supposed to take to Manhattan), take a seat and get off a couple of miles later at Glenwood Road (a pick-up only stop in that direction, but hey, maybe the door will open to receive intending passengers), is that OK in your book? Both MTA Bus Co. and MTA NYCT operate local routes, I've paid for a local trip, and my coins were "accepted" at the box, so it should be fine, right? |

The "R" and the "D" have a real meaning. I think the MTA should get rid of this historical ICC nonsense, but it has an impact, which Nilet would like to disregard. |

They will when it's the only stop in NYC :).125th-ers can backtrack on the 4/5. Fordham-ers will unfortunately need to take the 60/61/62 bus from New Rochelle. It's a small price to pay to make Nilet wrong, but as someone who does not live in the affected area, I think it's worth it. |
