So where on the paper Metrocard does it say anything about retaining the ticket for a given amount of time, let alone throughout the length of the trip?My understanding is that you're required to retain the plastic fare media with you for the duration of the trip. I am not sure where this "rule" is written, and I don't know if it applies to paper single ride tickets. But if not, that can always be fixed. If the fare evasion is not directly observed by the officer then how can it be prosecuted? I am not sure that New York allows turnstile jumping videos to be used as evidence in fare evasion cases. If not, this can be changed. None of these changes to the fare enforcement mechanisms requires POP. |
