You can’t ride the MBTA Commuter Rail for free, which one passenger found out the hard way last week in Wellesley.
Maxime H. Richardson, 29, of 35 McLellan St. Apt. #2, Dorchester was arrested and charged with evading a railroad fare at the Wellesley Square Commuter Rail Station Oct. 10.
Richardson paid the fare to ride from Boston to Wellesley, but he told a conductor he wanted to go to Worcester and refused to pay the additional fare, according to Wellesley Police Lt. Marie Cleary.
