Not sure if anyone has noticed this, but NJ Transit seems to have slightly redesigned the look of their rail tickets. My tickets to and from New York Penn that I printed out last Friday have a QR code on top. I tested scanning these with the QR reader at the faregates in Secaucus and they worked to open the gate. This will be nice for those with monthly tickets as it will negate the need to take the ticket out of it's wallet or holder as long as the QR code is visible.

I'm pretty sure they've been doing this with MyTix for a while now. I noticed this too, even on the Atlantic City Line.

This has been the case for a few months. You no longer insert the tickets at the airport monorail but scan them.
The only time in the past 3 months in which I got old ticket stock was a ticket to Philadelphia

I didn't get into teaching for the promotions or the pension plans or so I could get to the golf course by 3:45. I did it because I wanted to help you kids. I'd forgotten that, till today. -- Principal Peter Prickly.
As a ticket agent I'm glad to know that it actually works. I understand that the plan is to eventually eliminate the magnetic strip on the back of tickets.
Secaucus still has the old stock as of tonight.
