Commuter Searches on the N.J. PATH System

[Marlboroman]

There are no monthly, or weekly, etc., passes, or similar deals, for the PATH trains. You can buy individual passes for the full price ($1.50 a ride), or save money by buying blocks of 20 or 40 rides at a discount. You can also use a basic NYC metrocard - and your card is charged $1.50. You cannot use the "special" NYC MTA metrocards, such as those have "unlimited" rides for certain periods, in the NJ PATH - only the regular type.

My wife's coworker has been stopped for a bag check twice, and was allowed to enter the PATH for free both times.

So the PATH works like the subway then.

Nice, thats the first thing I have learned today.

I however on the LIRR, have weekly and monthy tickets and still receiveing the same threat bag searches.

Greetings from LI.

Peace.

PATH System 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. :cool: Rating: 5
