2-20-05 I rode train 6525 10:42 from Milford, CT. I arrived over 15 minutes before the train departed. The ticket lines were backed up to the stairs. My friends who I was traveling with did not come close to purchasing a ticket. I would have to say that less than half the passengers who boarded the train had tickets. The new ticket structure coming in affect March 1st will add $5.00 for every ticket purchased aboard the train. I think this is criminal. MNRR has a maximum of 2 ticket machines per platform and they have all but eliminated the ticket seller jobs. How can the MTA charge a customer a $5.00 surcharge for inadequate and defective ticket selling system. On top of that they had a total of 7 cars which was standing room before we hit South Norwalk. MTA is not going my way. Sorry for the long rant.
