Legislation that targets the use of fraudulent tickets on the Virginia Railway Express passed the state Senate unanimously Tuesday.
The bill, sponsored by Sen. Linda T. "Toddy" Puller (D-Fairfax), makes it illegal for people to produce and use a fraudulent or counterfeit ticket on the commuter train service. Violators of the law could be fined $500 to $1,000.
