The demonstration project at two stations on the Long Island Rail Road was designed to test and evaluate newly developed automatic ticket encoding and cancellation equipment under actual operating conditions in suburban railroad stations. Automated station fare collection is a system of validating and collecting passenger fares at stations rather than on trains. On the whole the demonstration was well received by the riding public. Mechanical and functional problems occurred from time to time, but at no time did they create significant interference with normal passenger flow. The results of this demonstration have influenced the development of new ticket readers. Magnetic-surface paper tickets have been substantially improved and manufacturing costs are reported to have been reduced.
