This is really stupid and the person at MTA who authorized this study should be fired - the psychology of the fare invader is that they want a free ride - this has always been the case - in the past you had Transit cops around the turnstiles to keep people honest - now 99% of the time there is no one there so people ust walk through and on the buses its even worse - before the bus drivers would say something or not drive the bus but their union said to them - its not your job so they say nothing -MTA’s costly fare-evader study: Letters to the Editor — Dec. 17, 2024

Where do I send my million dollar invoice to MTA for giving them the answer
You are right about cops at certain stations at certain times but the vast majority of stations are still pretty open and i have seen fare invaders just ignore the orannge vest folks -^^^^
100%
But there ARE people there now. Those guys in the orange vests and all the major stops still have cops and military
And during school time a LOT more cops walking around.
I don't want those guys harassing kids and the poor.
I don't know the answer but just not paying isn't going to work
