You would control over-riding the same way you would control people riding without any ticket at all. If you buy a ticket from New York to Hicksville but instead ride to Ronkonkoma, but are caught at Brentwood, you're subject to the full penalty fare. Since you never know when the inspector will come, you can't reliably over-ride without risking the full penalty fare.You could require all riders to tap/scan on and off, though that wouldn't be necessary as long as they stay on top of enforcement. It is worth noting that conductors don't diligently track each passenger is going to their ticketed destinations now anyways, especially on eastbound trains...on the LIRR conductors usually make one pass after departure and one pass after Jamaica then sit in the cab for the rest of the trip. For the most part you can buy a ticket from NY-Penn Station to the first stop after Jamaica and over-ride all the time, and you'd seldom get caught. I used to commute from Massapequa...one day I continued east to Babylon and was shocked how many people were riding to Amityville, Copaigue, and Lindenhurst with Massapequa Park monthlies... |
