If I buy a gallon of milk, but the milk provider has told the wrong price to the supermarket, is it my or the supermarkets problem?
Well, the gallon of milk is the ticket here, the milk provider is United who transmitted the correct info, only the supermarket to input them in the register at a wrong conversion rate. So yeah, the supermarket is responsible to cover the damage. Not the company. Seems a legit decision if they decide not to honor the fares since it was not like previous error fare cases where the company transmitted the information wrong in the first place.
