TrainJotting: Can??t Beat The Metro-North Fare Hikes By Buying Tickets Now

TJ over at TrainJotting tried to bstick it to the man by purchasing his March Metro-North ticket now to avoid paying the fare increase which happens on March 1st. Unfortunately, while Metro-North seems behind the 8-ball technology-wise most of the time, it seems their superadvanced ticket machine overlords are plenty capable of charging the hike for future tickets. The good news was that the fare hike for his particular ticket was on the very low end of the projected fare hike range of 3.76%-4

Re: Spuyten Duyvil area, how is it?

Quote from: Vik on Today at 21:32Wow, that's a pretty black and white way of looking at things. Everything is perpective. Some people would say the same thing about Inwood. I've taken the MetroNorth to GrandCentral from University Heights a few times when I was close to it, and it's pretty convenient if you know the times. To not consider it, is wasting your resources.

The Fare Hikes Are Coming! The Fare Hikes Are Coming!

Metro-North left some handbills behind for riders last night explaining the fare hikes that arrive March 1. ???The vast majority of monthly and weekly commuter rail tickets will increase between 3.76% and 4.25%,??? reads the ???New Fares??? flier.

Furthermore, ???Ticket prices for one-way, round-trip and ten-trip travel between other stations will increase u

Toughskins, Timberlands and Footprints: The Great Blizzard of 2008

One thing I like about the snow is the footsteps I see as I walk to the train. I live in a neighborhood where no one walks unless the doctor demands it of them. My house is a very doable, at least by my book, 15 minute walk to the train 13 if you??re really chugging, but no one does it. Mind you, most people around me don??t commute to the city, but those that do for the most part do not walk. A pair of large hills figures into their decision as well.
