Jasper County Democrat, Volume 10, Number 5, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 4 May 1907 — COMMUTATION TICKETS CUT OFF. [ARTICLE]

COMMUTATION TICKETS CUT OFF.

And now it is announced that the Monon will cut off the sale of the 25 cent, per ride commutation tickets between Hammond and Chicago, this requiring passengers to pay full rates between Hammond and Chicago or purchase a ten ride ticket which is good only in hands of the purchaser and must be used up within a certain time. People all along the line south of Hammond who make frequent trips to Chicago have been in the habit of usipg these cheap commutation tickets and thereby saying quite a little car fare each trip, they being good in anyone’s hands and for as many as you desired to let ride, the conductor punching out for each person. The new two cent fare law is responsible for the Monbn’s action in this matter.
