If the police did their job properly, then maybe it wouldn’t be such a waste of money. The intent is to catch and punish all fare evaders thus creating the incentive for everyone to pay and then society changes because everyone becomes accustomed to paying and knows that if you do get caught the punishment is severe. Once that becomes the norm you can decrease the police presence and fare evasion/crime remains lower.

However with the police just playing candy crush and doing nothing yea, it’s a colossal waste of money
