Didn't you see the Channel 7 report?

"But 7NEWS went undercover and found not all conductors are on board.

On this trip from Malden to Boston, two 7NEWS staffers boarded the train and were never asked for tickets. They both rode for free - a ride that should have cost us $3 dollars and 40 cents."

A friend of mine saw an news report where they had some attractive undercover reporter using her sex appeal to not get charged a fare...so I guess even when they do come around to collect a fare, all it takes for a woman to get a free ride is a push-up bra and some lip gloss?

Hey -- I'm not complaining!!! The commuter rail is a rip off! I got someone from the commuter rail contacting me to discuss this matter in greater detail, so I'm preparing a rant about the ridiculous fare structure for the commuter rail.

AND this has been covered numerous times on local news.

They got the story angle all wrong, this should've been a New Way To Save Dough story - not some stupid expose. God bless those conductors!
