I bought one of those web tickets from the LIRR website and used it on one of my trips to the island and back to the city. It was a round trip ticket with a Metro Card on the back. Anyway, on my return trip, when the conductor took the tickets, I asked if I could keep it and he told me that I'm supposed to use the Metro Card before my final trip. I was wondering if this is a policy that they collect all tickets. I figured they would let you keep the Metro Card tickets but apparently they are supposed to collect them. Why do they collect the tickets, and why do they give people a hard time for wanting to keep them?
