N.Y. Railroad Law § 58: Excess charge when fare paid on cars

§ 58. Excess charge when fare paid on cars. It shall be lawful for any

company owning or operating a steam railroad in this state, to demand

and collect an excess charge of ten cents over the regular or

established rate of fare, from any passenger who pays fare in the car in

which he may have taken passage, except where such passage is wholly

within the limits of any incorporated city in this state, provided,

however, that it shall be the duty of such company to give to any

passenger paying such excess a receipt or other evidence of such

payment, which shall legibly state that it entitles the holder thereof

to have such excess charge refunded, upon the delivery of the same at

any ticket office of said company, upon the line of their railroad, and

said company shall refund the same upon demand; provided, however, that

it shall be unlawful for any company owning or operating a railroad

whether operated by steam, electricity or other motor power to demand or

collect any excess charge from any passenger taking passage from a

station or stopping place where tickets can not be purchased during half

an hour previous to the schedule time for the departure of said train,

or car on which such passengers take passage.
