I'm going to go out on a limb that you actually know a little bit about what you're talking about, but you have ridden HBLRT, NCS, the Riverline, or some other POP using transit line, right? Did you not buy a ticket at any time you rode one of those lines? Did you happen to see anyone who either demonstrably was not paying the fare or was caught by fare inspectors? So long as people validate their tickets the fare is collected and the system works. Surely it's a better arrangement than the current system where anyone whose trip doesn't originate or terminate at St George rides free.And a combined fare control system with POP and a barrier fare control arrangement can be implemented. You could easily leave the fare gates at St George for use with the ticket used for POP. That way you get nearly 100% fare checking at St George with slightly less at the stations south of there. The only thing that'd have to be changed is the inclusion of MVMs at all SIRT stations, and what likely could be a slight hardware change on the turnstiles at St George. |
