I feel like I'm missing something. Caltrain charges different depending on where you get off or get on right? How would it know what to charge unless you tagged on/off at the particular stations?
If Caltrain has monthly passes for unlimited rides (I have no idea if they do or not), I agree swiping should not be necessary- especially since I think Muni's monthly pass allows you to just get on/off a train without swiping on the train itself (if the station doesn't have a turnstile).
- veemjeem 14y agoWhen you buy a monthly pass, they ask you which zones you plan to travel in. You'll pay more for a monthly pass if you travel further. So the information is already in your pass if you bought a monthly ride ticket; when you scan before boarding, the end station should already be implied.
