From NJT website:
QUOTE Purchase Tickets Before Boarding to Save $5: Ticket Vending Machines Available at ALL Stations - Tickets Purchased Onboard Subject to Additional $5 Charge - Effective Thursday, March 1, 2012 Ticket Vending Machines (TVMs) have been installed at all NJ TRANSIT rail stations. The new TVMs are available at all times, and accept cash, credit or debit cards. NJ TRANSIT Policy requires an additional charge of $5 be applied to all tickets purchased onboard the train when a ticket agent or TVM is available at your boarding station. As all rail stations are now equipped with TVMs, the additional $5 will be applied to each ticket purchased onboard for ALL trains from ALL stations beginning Thursday, March 1, 2012. Please remember to purchase your ticket before boarding to save $5. -------------------- Kevin Korell OTOL Board Leader Howell, NJ |

How long will it be before NJT following in SEPTA's footsteps will say that the real fare is the current fare + $5 and you get a $5 discount for buying your ticket at a TVM?
