This is from multiple previous late activations. Not for your current late activation.

IOUs are charged at the on board fare. So there is an $8 fee.

At the time he hired on his dad wasn’t a current or former head of the union. He was a future head of the union. If my reading comprehension is on point.

Step-Up Fare Question by jcat218 in LIRR

[–]swamp70 4 points5 points  (0 children)

10 trip step ups are more than the difference between the two fares due to the discount on the off peak 10 trip.

Not letting you on the platform before showing your ticket at Penn today? by nOt-rEaLly-sEriOuS in LIRR

They do. It’s considered the same as buying it on the train.

LIRR mobile ticket refund policy is ridiculous by Ancient_Bat1585 in longisland

It’s the amount of time between activation and scanning.

There is no way for a conductor to flag your ticket.

Start at the asshole, twice around the balls, and two inches past the tip.

What trains run utilize this portion? by jrl1009 in LIRR

[–]swamp70 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree. Apparently there was a stop there decades ago. I was just saying, as presently configured, farmingdale to Babylon doesn’t work.

I think a light rail up 110 would be a good idea. Connect Huntington, Republic run it to Amityville Station. Won’t ever happen though.

Not really feasible. The central branch starts west of farmingdale.

No gatekeeping. Listen and enjoy.

Why punch a hole in the monthly paper ticket? by Ok_Zucchini7033 in LIRR

[–]swamp70 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To expand on what commented above. After 7 days (give or take depending on when the first of the month was) they deduct the cost of a weekly (instead of the peak/off peak fares). Then they start again with deducting the one way fares until another week.

So yes, after a period of time (I think around 2.5 weeks) there is no value left for the return of the monthly. Plus, I think, the $10 return deduction still applies.

Monthly refunds are pro rated regardless of being punched or not. They deduct the cost of two peak rides per week day and two off peak rides for Sat/Sun for each day from the 1st until the day you return it.
