Hey, Ed, I’m a Bordentown resident, I take the River Line to work and buy my tickets each day. Yesterday the machines were broken. When an NJ Transit cop pulled up, I told him about the machines and asked for his badge number, so if something happens, he could confirm what happened. I got no assistance; this guy was really rude. Today the machine was still broken but thank God there was a lady on the platform with an extra ticket and she sold it to me. The point is, if these machines are not working and we can’t get tickets, we get issued a $71 ticket which has already happened to me. That’s not fair. We are busting our humps to make ends meet, and then we get a ticket because of their negligence? What kind of answer can we get from NJ Transit?

Paying Commuter

I would say the only response that NJ Transit would have is to put more cops on the platform now so they can catch that woman who was scalping a ticket to you. But don’t expect them to fix the machines as long as they can stick you with a $71 fine.
