Mtatransit Posted April 17, 2023 Share #3251 Posted April 17, 2023 Oh its not just mobile ticket that required scanning, most drivers (at least the ones I ridden) require you to scan your paper one way ticket as well. You would scan it, and then they would collect it. On the rail side, conductors also have scanners, I wonder what happen to people who still have tickets from years ago that didn't have a QR code (I still have one) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
553 Bridgeton Posted April 17, 2023 Share #3252 Posted April 17, 2023 Those scanners don’t even send the ticket to the register all it does is deactivate the ticket so it can’t be used again. The system isn’t turned on yet. They will have to rollout new registers for both to work together. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jass Posted April 17, 2023 Share #3253 Posted April 17, 2023 Is there a reason why line 319 has two buses from JC/Newark to AC but only one trip back? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FlashThunder Posted April 23, 2023 Share #3258 Posted April 23, 2023 As a lifelong rider of 166, I am very happy to see off peak addition of 166T in both direction, especially the last 166T on Saturday is at 11:50 PM. Also, many Oradell bus operators seem to add the decamp destination sign, on top of their run. i.e.: 166: New York Local -> 191D New York Express 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have to add each stop in the clever device for those legs. They are only running as extra trips in the 900 series run numbers. They will be all added for the summer pick and to the mybus app. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B35 via Church Posted April 30, 2023 Share #3270 Posted April 30, 2023 (edited) Peep this: Preface: Took the full #831 (between Long Branch RR & Red Bank RR), with the intent to xfer to the #834.... Said #834 just left Red Bank, as the #831 I was on, was pulling into Red Bank.... So I missed the connection; it happens.... Wasn't going to wait another hour for the next #834, so checking the schedule for the trains, I see that the next NY bound train was set to arrive in 13 mins... No problem.... So at one of the TVM's, I bought a ticket for Secaucus Junction... Train eventually comes, I board, and at Hazlet, the c/r scans my ticket, punches 3 holes on the right side of the ticket, as well as at the very top right of the ticket (since I was getting off at Secaucus Junction).... After stalling at Aberdeen-Matawan for 14 mins. for whatever reason, we eventually get to Secaucus Junction.... NONE of what I'm saying here in this paragraph I'm miffed at. Issue: So I get off the train at Secaucus Junction, make my way to the retracting gates.... With the ticket I purchased at Red Bank (Red Bank - Secaucus Junction), I tried scanning that to open up the gates, so I can exit the station (as in, to get to street level).... Scanner kept rejecting the ticket (tried about 5 or 6 times); said something to the effect of, ticket already used.... Some agent of some sort eventually noticed me, and asked where I was going... I told him "I'm just trying to exit the station"... He took my ticket, scanned it, then scanned a pass he had (only words I noticed on it were "Agent"), and then the gates opened.... He then said "you already used this ticket.... go ahead"... With the armed guards (there were about 4 or 5 of them, didn't bother counting) watching, I just kept shaking my head, and power-walked my way to the waiting #2 bus.... As I was shaking my head, I heard chuckling... I threw up my hands & continued walking towards the escalators.... Stupid shit. So I ask, what is the point of having to scan the ticket to EXIT the station? Especially when the ticket is going to end up getting scanned by the conductor on the train you just got off of (apparently invalidating the ticket).... At some point when the Metrocards get phased out, I presume PATH will go down this "path" with the scanning of shit... But right now, the dipping of the metrocard to exit JSQ, Newark-Penn, etc., I take no issue with.

MNR Beacon Line Posted April 30, 2023 Share #3271 Posted April 30, 2023 I've used tickets to Secaucus that have been scanned by conductors and never had this problem, I don't think this is intended behavior, probably just the turnstile glitching out. It's irritating to be accused of fare evading when it's not what you did but ultimately they just let you out and there was no harm done... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's strange but if they didn't do that then hardly anybody would pay between NY and Secaucus. Would be like the HBLR on the honor system lol 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
