Path and LIRR will not be affected-


I don't know about Path, but the LIRR is charging a higher rate if there is a strike. 'A Special Strike Fare', I guess to discourage travel...



I don't think they're charging a higher fare. I think they're charging $3 to those who normally take the bus/subway, but will need to take the LIRR to/from Jamaica. The fare is higher than the bus, but not higher than a LIRR ticket. The LIRR is accommodating those who are affected by the strike, not discouraging travel by charging everyone a higher price.



This is correct. They are charging the SAME or compartive prices so to discourage people from DRIVING...

That makes a lot more sense. Never beleive the half informed ramblings of your drama queen boss.
