Excellent analysis.You can't eliminate the security personnel. Maybe you reduce the numbers, maybe not. Even with faregates, you need transit police to patrol the trains and stations and keep a lid on things. So you're not going to save much there. Second, you reduce the boarding efficiency. If ridership climbs sufficiently, faregates slow entry into the system. I propose that the fine for farebeating be increased from $250 to $500 and a second offense become $1,000. |
