It's incredibly difficult to combine POP with a zoned fare system since fare inspectors can't determine where you boarded or where you're going— if the inspectors check me at Hicksville and I'm holding a valid two-zone intermediate ticket, how can they tell I boarded at Penn Station and I'm going to Yaphank? That's not true. Plenty of rail systems use PoP with zoned fares. For that trick to work you would have to know exactly where and when the inspector would come, so that's a non-issue as most rail passengers are unable to predict the future. If you buy a cheap Hicksville to Farmingdale ticket, you would only get off if the inspector comes between Hicksville and Farmingdale. If the inspector comes at Mineola, you would be subject to the full penalty fare. |
