The News is taking credit, claiming that its editorials brought about the reduction.

Of course, FTers have known for some time that it is possible to travel between EWR and Manhattan by rail for $12.25, if the right ticketing strategy used.
The News is kidding themselves. So with the fare hike that took place earlier this summer, does the $12.25 match the strategy?
