Hi - I have a question about the manifest that is in the scanners/iPhones that the conductors carry. My H was on the regional home today and the scanner portion of the device wasn't working, so the conductors were looking up all names. They got to my H, who has a monthly pass, and asked him for his last name. He gave it, and he popped right up on the device.

I was surprised by that, because I would assume that only someone with a reservation for that particular train would come up. As my H has a monthly, he has no reservations. So he asked me to ask you guys about how the systems work and who gets loaded into the devices. :) Anyone know? Do they load in all potential riders (monthlies, 10 rides, etc?)

He does receive an e ticket now for his monthly pass.
