I think you may just be re-stating what I had intended to communicate. What is generally called a "fare evasion" citation may in fact be either a true fare evasion violation or a failure to tender fare media in accordance with conditions and restrictions. So in both of the hypothetical cases, there would not be true fare evasion since since the accused would have paid $112 for the valid unlimited MetroCard. Instead, the accused would have failed to tender that valid unlimited MetroCard in accordance with conditions and restrictions. The tariff requires that valid unlimited MetroCards be processed by the turnstiles before passing into the subway, and processed by the vending machines (and retaining a receipt therefrom) before passing into a SBS bus. So a person who has failed to comply with these tariff conditions and restrictions would have failed to properly tender fare media, and would be properly cited with "fare evasion."It would be interesting to see the result if an accused person claimed not to have been on notice as to the conditions and restrictions of the tariff, notwithstanding the legend on MetroCards ("Subject to applicable tariffs and conditions of use"), because NYCTA does not make its tariff available generally to the riding public. |
