• Can anyone explain to me what the consequence is for fare jumping if they don’t do this?

    Number one reason is that it pisses people off as it is unfair

    Humans, like monkeys, are allergic to unfairness and more people will just jump because they also want free shit

    These policing efforts are just there to keep the number of free riders to the expected parameter and placate the paying users

    Capturing back lost fares is inconsequential

      Public transit should be free.

        Cringe. You’re an anonymous person interacting on the internet, not the main character of a sitcom.
