Commuter Searches on the N.J. PATH System

[Marlboroman]

Several people have reported to my wife, and myself, that when they are selected for a random bag search on Jersey's Path system, they are admitted to the train for free. This is a nice gesture, and has dramatically cut down on passengers' annoyance. I am hoping that the NYC Metropolitan Transit Authority adopts this system as well, but am not banking on it happening anytime soon, LOL.

I am curiuos to know exactly how they are getting on the train for free.

Being a commuter train, my experience is that most of the passengers are everyday traffic that have monthy if not weekly tickets.

This puts this rumor in the shit-can from my point of view.

To violate my rights by searching me without provocvation, will not be overlooked by some fake ass gesture of a free ride that I have all ready paid for in advance.

In short, if I have already paid for my ticket, how the fuck are you then going to claim today's ride is free?

Besides this totally sounds like a bullshit rumor. I cant imagine the MTA or NJT giveing anything away for free no how.

Peace.
