(erielack) Suburban Fares Then and Now

Once state agencies REALLY got involved with
running suburban passenger service -- after Congress
legislated Conrail out of the business -- fares began
to climb.

In 1963 an EL Morristown-Hoboken rider paid $1.45
one-way or $30.75 for a monthly. In 2003 the fares
from Morristown were $6.90 for a one-way and $193.00
for a monthly. Today they’re $10.25 one-way and
$291.00 for a monthly.
