Three Connecticut men faced a legal question after refusing to pay fare when no seat was available on a crowded New York City train. The attorney for the New York New Haven and Hartford line stated a passenger has a right to one seat but not to a seat on any specific train. If no seat exists, the passenger may wait for the next train and cannot sue for discomfort. If he stays on a crowded train, he is an intruder and should be grateful to the railway. The proposed remedy is to await a train with space, or sue for damages if delays cause financial loss, though such actions are slow and unlikely to succeed. Under New York law, extortion by refusal to provide sufficient cars is noted as an adequate remedy.
