Stockpiling

Fosters > Rochester commuter stuck with tokens explores options

Siegfried Watson of Rochester thought it made sense to stock up on $300 worth of tokens instead of buying a roll at a time for his daily commute to North Andover, Mass.

But when he began working in Portsmouth at a new job, his token usage was cut in half and he now has more tokens than he can use.

Man, it is bad enough being stuck behind someone asking for directions.
