MetroNorth will soon have your tickets scanned how to display the Bar Code
Very Important that you learn how to do this
As over the upcoming days MetroNorth will be changing the Protocol on Train
Tickets
In the past you would just Activate the Ticket and then show the Train Conductors
the Ticket
Now thats still gonna be the same only they will have to scan it with a bar code
That is not visible on the body of your Ticket but the bar code is there
At the top of the Ticket App you will see something that says Pull down to see
Bar code
Where it says that Pull it down and a Bar Code should come up
From there the Train Conductors Will be Scanning it
Does this take Effect on all the MetroNorth Routes ?
Right now its only going into Effect on the Hudson Routes but they are only
Testing it tho so if it goes well they will probably roll it out to all of the
Routes or if something goes wrong they may not we will see in the Future but
Even if this does not Effect you yet its still Important to learn how to do it
Should it come on all of the MetroNorth Routes
Will the Expiring Rules be the same ?
Yes Tickets will still Expire so Dont Activate your Ticket until you are boarding
the Train this way you have the Maximum amount of time to show the Train Captain
your Ticket if you Activate it prior to that you Risk the Ticket getting shut off
and if that Happens you will have to buy a Another Ticket
the only thing thats changing is the Tickets will be Scanned and Probably once
they are Scanned they will Expire faster
