Commuter Rail tickets are just by zone, not direction. A ticket from Zone 1 to South Station is also a ticket from South Station to Zone 1.

Tickets also aren't restricted to a particular line. If you want to use your tickets for a trip out of North Station, you can do that, too.

Also, why did you buy both 1 and 1A tickets?

I assumed so, but had to ask since the app lists the starting and end station right on top.

I bought both because QC > SS is Zone 1 but SS > Ruggles is Zone 1A, which is cheaper. Was that no necessary?

If you use the M-Ticket app, the Zone 1 ticket might still be active for the duration of the transfer. If you bought paper tickets, you probably have to do it your way.

Thanks for that info - I’ll keep that in mind for the future. I didn’t know they were valid for a period of time/transfer.
