## Caption

In a fresh bid to prevent free rides, some LIRR tickets would expire in just four hours, instead of two months — part of a broader plan to hike the cost of taking a train or bus or driving across a New York City bridge or tunnel.

The proposal includes new discounts and incentives for some Long Island Rail Road riders, including an unlimited day pass. It would also include a 4.4% increase in the average LIRR fare.

One-way electronic tickets would be automatically activated when purchased, and both electronic and paper tickets would no longer expire in 60 days. The change aims to address a growing problem of riders waiting to activate electronic tickets until a conductor comes to inspect them.
