A reader with a supercomputer for a brain, as opposed to my Commodore VIC-20, took our suggestion to keep the monthly train pass in your iPod holder several steps further: He downloaded a photo of his November pass into his iPod.
How will the conductor react? Will he simply look at the thing and walk on by, or try to pick it up for closer examination, or confiscate the iPod and regift it to his tween daughter for Christmas?
We’ll find out. This enterprising young Bronxville man will try it out tonight.

My advice……DISCOURAGE ANYONE FROM DOING IT!! This is not acceptable, and how this conductor accepted it is BEYOND me!! Trust me….don’t do it!! I know….I am a conductor for MTA Metro-North Railroad!!! Have your ticket in person, please
