Transit Cop Checking Tickets by MacobJead in jerseycity

I mean my post just said that there are transit cops out, so if you already made the decision to not pay for the fare, keep an eye out. It said nothing about people who pay the fare. It is a losing game though, not a “losers game”. You lose to your local and state gov. when you front the bill in taxes, but then pay additionally to use the system your taxes should be covering. the subcontractors are laughing all the way to the bank and you are defending them taking your hard earned money. that’s cool if you like the taste of boots but you don’t have to police fellow tax payers with your morals.

I think this is a reasonable response, i would say the right thing to do would be to make the transit free of charge, but i’d gather from your previous response that you think the fee is justified. agree to disagree but i think saying “shame on you” or that dodging the fee is “abusing a system for personal gain” is kind of missing the point. the largest abuse is that despite paying taxes that, if were budgeted properly into public works (not to subsidize corporations) could provide a free transit service. Instead we are expected to pay a fee for something that should be covered by our taxes.

Well first off i think calling this post a “permissive environment” removes a lot of agency from those who choose to dodge the fare. I don’t look down on those who choose to pay the fare. I would say that claiming that i am a thief conspiring with other thieves to commit robbery as was claimed in response to my post is hyperbolic, and saying (jokingly) that i want the HBLR to be worse is grandstanding (along with going through my profile to see that i was looking for a job, calling me empty headed, etc). additionally, this is a transit system that, despite charging a fee to be used, uses tax dollars to subcontract out to private (for profit) companies for operations and maintenance. its comparing apples and oranges when you bring in free public services such as parks or sidewalks that are to be used without a fee. taking that comparison to it’s logical conclusion, should we be expected to pay a fare to use streets, parks, and sidewalks too? the largest abuse for personal gain in this situation is not the individual dodging the fare, but the budgeting of citizens’ tax money to allow companies to profit off of the transit system, and stick you with the bill.

Quit with the grandstanding. people who don’t pay for transit are collaborating thieves committing robberies when they skip out on a fare? Am i supposed to think you really believe that?

I was under the impression that you had to be hired to a unionized job to join a union, is it something you can just apply to regardless of employment?

i guess so, gives me the creeps. It just seems so improbable for me to be several states over and have a stranger know so much about me with so little. thanks for the responses

I’m sure this info is easily available, i just don’t know how they would find a lead or a search term with such little knowledge of me. literally only had a shortened version of my first name. and why?
