I can throw my paper Metrocard away once I get through the gate and be completely indistinguishable from someone who jumped the gate.The problem is not that there is a fare barrier, the problem is that you are not legally required to keep your paper single ride ticket, and that there is no way for a fare inspector to read your plastic MetroCard. At least with POP there is a requirement to retain the ticket through the trip, which allows fare evaders to be identified after they get away from the gate. It is not necessary to have POP to require passengers to retain their tickets. |
