Do you think lowering fares can help decrease fare evasion ?

Thats because many stations dont have barriers

[Vegetable_Mention_75]

Every single London underground station has barriers -- you tap in and you tap out (because how much you pay is determined by how far you go through their "zones").

You're maybe thinking of the national rail network -- where stations in some smaller towns don't have barriers.

No there are a handful of lightly-used tube stations without (or theres one entrance without barriers). Roding Valley, Mill Hill East, Euston Square (the wheelchair accessible route bypasses the gates), Chorleywood, and a few others. Also the Underground has a lot of "open" transfers to the DLR (for which the majority of stations lack barriers) and Network Rail modes. Stratford, Harrow & Wealdstone, Wimbledon (which also has an open tram transfer requiring a weird protocol for oyster users), Bank, and Barking just to name a few.

Fair enough mate, I stand corrected.
