Are you allowed to take a train on Shabbat using a prepaid card ? (Assuming that there is an Eruv to carry the metro card) and you swipe with a shinuy?
No.
What if there’s a free train day?
Sorry, No
How come your not allowed?
Please explain why not?
Problems regarding Techumim.
What if the train only stays within the techum?
Why is it a problem with Techumim? Please explain
What if there is an Eruv?
Techum and Eruv are two different things. Riding a train can be an issue of Techum.
There are many reasons why riding a train or bus on Shabbat is a problem. Techum is just one of the many issues.
Bottom line, riding a train or bus on Shabbat is not permitted.
