letra de america's most confusing fare system - alex davis

[intro]
one, two, one two three four

[verse 1]
nj transit uses zones to charge you by how far you’ve gone
count the boundaries that the bus is gonna cross while you are on
buses in the north or south will charge you at a different rate
each of those has separate scales for intrastate and interstate

[pre-chorus]
buy the ticket in the app and activate
only when you see the bus in case it’s late
show the driver. hopefully you did the math
if you did it wrong, then you may face their wrath
but secretly, most drivеrs let it go!

[chorus]
these arе the fares on nj transit
the quest to understand it
could be its own academic discipline
each bus ride is a research project
of algebraic logic
f-ck it. here’s a 20. keep the change

[verse 2]
transferring from bus to bus, that’s where it gets really fun
transfers can be bought with coins but only let you travel one
zone and if you’ll travel more, you’ll have to pay an override
if you haven’t heard of these, get ready for a wild ride
[pre-chorus]
overrides aren’t posted on the internet
i called them up and they refused to send me it
that’s fine. i’ll just plot them out empirically
internet, i really hope you’re proud of me
and also you can only pay the overrides in cash

[chorus]
these are the fares on nj transit
we don’t know who plans it
but they’ve got a twisted sense of humor
cause the increments are in five cents so
bring a coin dispenser
nickels are the only way to pay

[verse 3]
this bizarrely massive route has northern fares for just the shore
a rail pass gets you on the bus, even if it costs you more
these five buses feature a unique fare structure. here it is
some routes let you transfer with continuing trip privileges

[pre-chorus]
river line is only one zone all the way
hudson-bergen, two south jersey zones you pay
newark light rail’s cheap if you stay underground
probably more anomalies i haven’t even found
[bridge]
we’ve finally reached commuter rail
head down to your local station
tap the screen on this machine
put your origin and destination
(that. that’s it.)

[chorus]
these are the fares on nj transit
we don’t know who plans it
but i think i know which mode they ride the most
commuter rail is easy, but the rest is like an
iq test for the entire garden state
