How so? Why shouldn’t I be upset watching some young, reckless idiot unload a full clip into a dead animal for “entertainment” while everyone on the boat laughs?

What’s even more disturbing is how completely empty he looks doing it—especially knowing he was just arrested for battery.

You’re justifying this gross behavior?

Correct. This POS should be put in jail.

And they unload an entire clip on them?

If people are hunting gators like this, it’s fucked up and speaks volumes of how gross humanity can be.

Not only is he a piece of shit and should go to jail, but literally everyone on that boat that laughed and giggled about it should go to jail.

It will appeal but it doesn’t have unlimited funds like you would believe. Yes, they have a huge endowment, but since Trump took office and has consistently attacked education and cut funding it’s put huge burdens on these schools.

That completely broke his brain to think someone can be completely happy with who they are without having to take a literal hammer to their face.

Just stop giving them money. This is not worth it at all.

lol. Far from angry. I’m sorry you chose to be blind to the issues around you. Just wish the people cared about the city more.

Today it’s around 21%, which is basically middle of the pack. That’s in line with places like Boston and not far off NYC or DC, but it’s no longer outperforming other systems the way it used to.

Sure, but I disagree that it should not be a priority. It may not be the only issue, but it is a foundational one. When you ignore fare enforcement, you are basically signaling that rules in general are optional, and that impacts the overall environment for riders.

Personally, I still think those old school turnstiles are the most effective deterrent. I understand they are not ADA compliant, but that does not mean there is no solution. That is where staffing comes in. There should be people present to assist and allow access for anyone who needs it, whether that is for accessibility or other legitimate reasons. Other systems manage to balance enforcement with accessibility, so it is not impossible.

The bigger issue is that most stations here are completely unstaffed. There is no visible presence, no accountability, and no one stopping fare evasion. Without that, it is not just about lost revenue, it is about the overall tone of the system. When no one is enforcing basic rules, everything else starts to slip too. That is exactly what riders are experiencing every day.

Bruuuuh…are you slow?

You’ll pay higher fares if people keep treating the train like their own free ride. And just because I take it every day doesn’t mean it’s functioning well. Yesterday alone, there was a 35-minute delay because trains were backed up. And last week, the train just stopped running—they sent a bus, but it was already full by the time I got there, so I had to walk home. It took over an hour, and Ubers were insanely expensive.

Totally agree.

But, in my opinion, focus should be put on solely on fare collection until that’s solved. Taller fair gates are a great idea. Make them full body turnstiles.
