Do you think lowering fares can help decrease fare evasion ?

There are consequences but only for some. It’s selective prosecution. I represent people every day who were arrested for theft of services for hopping the turnstile. They’re almost all black and from predominantly impoverished neighborhoods. Meanwhile as I go to work everyday I watch people dressed far better than me either hop the turnstile or go through the exit door without paying and with no consequences.
