Any way to trick the magnetic strip on train/bus tickets to get more rides?

Question

I'm tired of paying for public transport.

Anyway know how the magnetic strips on the back of bus/ train tickets work, so that I can somehow trick it?

Or is this the pipe dream of a deluded commuter

Answer 1

You will need a magnetic card reader/writer that hooks to your computer. They have many legitimate uses. This is not one of them though unfortunately. I would advise against it due to the penalty of getting caught severely outweighs the reward of getting away with it. So dream on and think about how much gasoline you are saving.

Answer 2

It is possible but it is illegal.

Answer 3

Why don't you just do the right thing?
