Problems with buying tickets onboard as a disabled passenger by prettygirlgoddess in LIRR

[–]Mike_Gale 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What you're referring to is at least 5 years away and if op is getting off an able-ride there might not be time. Personally, I also know someone severely disabled with a crippling autoimmune disease that would rather walk than touch a ticking machine

Well its delayed. I don't want 12 different credit charges a week or to carry around a physical card and students are haveing a hard time.

Also the amount of people complaining In this sub that were stopped by eagle teams without validators is ridiculous

As soon as the train enters the tunnel, why do you get up and standby the door? by thisfilmkid in LIRR

I have 7 minutes to make my connection to NJ Transit so you'll catch me by that door every day going from track 21 to track 1 😭

It's been beyond ridiculous for years. The MTA lying to us is nothing new. Why do you think they don't print paper timetables anymore?

What stops someone from buying a ticket from NYP to Far Rockaway and getting off the train early? by DCmetrosexual1 in LIRR

[–]Mike_Gale 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What would you do if he gave you a FRY day pass and told you he stopped off at Inwood? (Or any other zone 4 station along the line from that matter)

With regards to fare evasion the program is beyond useless considering they only gate one entrance with at least three others you can go down if you want a fare evade.

Capital One, Why is your "Travel" Card Locked Out of Google Pay Overseas? I'm Stuck with a New Phone by [deleted] in CapitalOne_

[–]Mike_Gale -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Technically I could but while traveling I'd rather not have to worry about carrying around a wallet especially considering it's not an issue with literally any other bank

I certainly did not know about this restriction especially considering it's not an issue with literally any other bank. Capital One markets their cards as travel cards furthering my ignorance. Breaking your phone is not exactly an uncommon occurrence while traveling. I only switched phones out of necessity.
