Lion, you have a point there. A turnstile that is being watched, or an onboard collector, is a reasonably effective barrier. It had not occurred to me to evade the fare here in NYC, even when my resources were not what they are now. If a transit authority wishes to outsource their fare enforcement-- and I'm sure this resulted in a net loss of jobs held by humans-- they can't expect other agencies to pick up their bag for them. It seems that their fare inspectors are stretched far too thin to effectively police the system, and that fine for the first offense is negligible. |
