The downeaster terminates in Boston North Station and the rest of trains that terminate in Boston stop at South Station. They are about a mile walk from each other.

The barriers @ 4:52 are the exact ones in the UK! The gates don't generally go that high though. There's now a bit added to the front to allow for contactless payments, however some services (Stansted Express (London Liverpool Street to London Stansted Airport) especially) rather controversially not accepting them or the London Oystercard, as valid payment (technically a break of contract), meaning people get fined on the other side. For the Stansted Express at least, this has been an issue since at least 2019, with at least 16,000 fines issued every year, most very likely for this exact thing!

This video is really nice. Also, the only way to evade the WMATA gates that are shown is to get up onto the side of one of the gates and crawl over, like what was demonstrated. If WMATA added solid frames around the side and tops of these gates, it would suppress even this method of evading, and therefore would be truly impassable. They would be the second type of fare gate/turnstile like this, after the revolving ones used in the NYC Subway.

The "unbeatable" turnstile at 11:26 - I've actually gotten through those before. I literally climbed up the bars to the ceiling of the station and just climbed down the other side. This was actually at a more secured septa station in philly along their regional rail line.

The sheer lack of affordable houses makes this a pipedream for many though. After having lived abroad for 15 years as a Dutchie I can no longer return because I simply can't afford the rent. And the systems won't even register me for the few remaining affordable homes because I don't have an income there. They changed the rules of the game. Housing, healthcare, education, social welfare systems, they've all taken a turn for the worst. So much so that at this point videos of how amazing Holland is supposed to be are starting to look like pure propaganda to me. If I'd believe in conspiracy theories (which I don't) I'd say the government is behind all these. The Netherlands is a nice country but only go there with a big bag of money. Otherwise you'll be in for a surprise.

One thing I like about NJ Transit commuter trains better than the MTA LIRR or Metro North is that they don’t do peak fares on rush hour NJ Transit trains and that the fares stay flat while MTA Railroads charge a little extra when riding trains in rush hour peak directions. And even worse, MTA Metro North specifically charges those same unnecessary peak fares on their rush hour reverse peak morning trains. While I feel safe to ride with crowds out of NYC on NJ Transit before or after 3 PM on weekdays, I try to leave NYC by 3:30-4 PM at the latest if riding Metro North or LIRR on a typical weekday.

While NJ Transit’s commuter rail fare policy is confusing but not too overwhelming and easy to pay, SEPTA Regional Rail needs to do a better job with designing their trip planners on their trains. Especially its with how hard it can be to get point A to point B schedules and fares on many SEPTA Regional Rail trains, and the site for that is so differently structured compared to NJ Transit’s or MTA NYCTA’s.

This song is Definitely An Amazing Masterpiece! It helps reduce anxiety and it’s also pretty funny too, even if still feeling so confused about trying to understand NJ Transit’s complicated fare system. Especially their bus fares are what literally everyone has trouble understanding in many different ways!

I started riding NJ Transit as of the early 2010s and independently as of 2017-2018 but it took me a few years to get the whole fare system in mind, based on where I ride and what mode of transportation I use. Zoned fares of course are necessary for commuter trains and it’s good that the light rail fares are pretty flat but some of those bus routes are just a bit too hard to understand with fares as there’s so many different logics, rather than just a structure of a few fares based on type of bus route it is. It’s even more confusing that some bus routes charge extra for peak destinations that don’t even rely on distance as much, and not everyone is gonna know about that fare difference reasoning all the time. Like $9 one way from NYC to American Dream on the 355 compared to $4.50 on the 163 from NYC to East Rutherford, it’s understandable in some ways to do that but it’s still very hard to understand why that is. Or even more confusing, I almost thought it was $10 one way from PABT to Walmart Harmon Meadow on the 320 but it was actually just $4.25 but they charge $10 on that Same route from NYC to North Bergen but yet Walmart Harmon Meadow is a little bit more west of North Bergen.

Another issue SEPTA has at some stations is that they'll have an elevator that goes from street level to the area just outside the fare gates. The same elevator also has a second door to allow people to go from the paid zone to one of the platforms, essentially using one 3-atorey elevator as functionally two smaller elevators. If you step in at street level and wait for someone on the platform to call it, you ride the elevator right past the fare gates.
