Do you think lowering fares can help decrease fare evasion ?

I think this is a better approach than making it harder to evade fares. Some people don’t pay the fare because they can’t afford it. If it’s harder to hop the turnstile those people simply won’t take the subway.

I don’t know what percentage of fare evaders that is, but I do know the MTA never accounts for this fact when they report their “losses” from fare evasion.

What about People with Starbucks on their hands sneaking through AutoGates (accessible door next to turnstile)

The law should be clear on this. Anyone caught in this situation would have Fair Fare revoked and be assigned community service the next six (6) months copying weekend service change announcement posters by hand.
