You know, that song never made any sense to me.

The fare went up while he was on the train. Were they charging him to get off? And if so were they not just wasting space on a non-paying passenger that could be used for a paying passenger?

And why didn't he just get off at the end of the line and walk home? Did they have a 24/7 guard on him even when the train was not running?

That's how it works on the underground in London. I don't know about Boston.
