Because he didn't evade the fare since he had an unlimited card and the machines were broken which wasn't his fault. . That's why. Any other details as to what he should or should not have done is irrelevant. Incorrect. This is very basic stuff. Do you even know what the rule is??? Obviously you don't. So I'll go out of my way to tell you (bold emphasis added by me): "No person shall use or enter upon the facilities or conveyances of the Authority, for any purpose, without the payment of the fare or tender of other valid fare media used in accordance with any conditions and restrictions imposed by the Authority. For the purposes of this section, it shall be considered an entrance into a facility or conveyance whenever a person passes through a point at which a fare is required or collected. No person shall, for purposes of gaining entry into a facility, proceed over or under any turnstile or otherwise proceed in any other unauthorized manner through an exit gate or through or past any other point at which a fare is required or collected and it shall be no defense to a charge of a violation of this subdivision that fare media, a fare media sales device or a fare collection device was malfunctioning." IINM, the last sentence in that rule was recently added SPECIFICALLY because people were jumping the turnstiles or entering through the service gate and then, after getting caught, claiming that they were innocent since they had a valid Unlimited Ride card on them, but that either the card wasn't working properly or the turnstiles were not working properly. So as I have just shown, you are completely wrong and totally ignorant to the facts. you can't have an intelligent discussion No, that would describe YOU, since you make these ridiculous posts without knowing the applicable facts. |
