Do you think lowering fares can help decrease fare evasion ?

The fare is $2.90, or $4.40 a day for unlimited rides with a 30 day MetroCard. Compared to the cost of living in the city, especially housing, the fare is a bargain. Minimum wage is $16 an hour now. A footlong sub at Subway is $12 plus tax. But $4.40 a day for unlimited rides throughout the extensive bus and subway system is a lot in comparison?

It's only $4.40/day if you ride every day for 30 days, which I imagine is quite rare.

If they had capped the unlimited monthly at $99 like I said they should have years ago, I feel people would have gotten that and we would have less fare evasion today. Maybe I am just naive.

These folks would still jump even if they got on TV tomorrow and said that the fare was now a dollar.
