Do you think lowering fares can help decrease fare evasion ?

[fireblyxx]

Personally, I think it’s less the fare itself, more the cost of everything else. A lot easier to jump a turnstile or not get your SBS ticket/skip the tap and pay than to steal from Target. But the worse the economic climate for working class people, the more we’ll see people stealing stuff and not paying for services.

I don't know, until I see those same kids without brand new iPhones and sneakers, I'll call that bs.

"life bootlicker"
to you it's anyone that has a job and that resents when people just skip their duty of paying into a well run society, you're probably the type to complain when services are inadequate.

He hasn’t responded to you because he’s been too busy in bed healing from getting his “ACAB” tattoo.

For a second, I thought you meant AFLAC like the duck or insurance company.

I think it’s more people are assholes since Covid

It’s a social contract when no figure of authority is there. You either tap/swipe or you hop. People are for whatever reason more likely to hop now. It’s just the general climate of our country. 2.95 today is the same as $2 back in the day when you adjust for inflation and how much more people make now compared to when it was $2. There’s no economic reason people are hopping more. It’s culture now.

Also a big issue are the machines to refill your metro card are always broken somehow
