One Massachusetts commuter believes it is never too late to say sorry - or pay your train fare.
Matthew Andrewes hand-delivered an apology letter, along with $300 in cash, to the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority (MBTA) on June 9. That was the amount Mr Andrewes believes he owes MBTA for evading fares.
The 31-year-old said he avoided paying the train fare whenever he could as a teenager and in his 20s.
He wrote: "I am so sorry. Please accept this money as compensation."
