Fayson Lakes had only begun in 1927.  The developer, Frank Fay, Jr, had
explored the area on horseback from Pompton Plains...  The main access
road was paved in 1931, so by 1935 it was possible to drive to Boonton
station.


The fares are interesting.  The 1-day round-trip cost the same as or just
pennies more than one-way; it was not valid during the commuting hours. 
The 15-day round trip fare was 25-50% higher than the one-way fare. 
Weekly and monthly commutation tickets were very heavily discounted - the
weekly cost just 3 to 3.5 one-way trips (now 8.5) while the monthly cost
about 14 (now 48).  And, of course, since the Boonton Line was three miles
shorter than the Morristown Line, fares for Dover and Denville were lower
via Boonton for the weekly and monthly tickets - that lasted into the
Erie-Lackawanna era.

The $36.90 50-trip family fare ticket price from Denville now covers two
off-peak round trips!
