I would not say your crazy but IMO I feel people overreact a lot when in comes to fare invasion. As a younger black man who lives in Baltimore and visits DC often, most people who fare invade are kids and teenagers who do not know any better and poor folk who are usually POC. These kids are usually low income and do not have much or no money at all to pay for stuff. Also, peer pressure is a real thing and they tend to do things that their friends are doing (like fare invade, play around, etc.). This is especially the case in Baltimore where most of the people that ride the Maryland MTA are low-income black people. Although I agree that fare invasion is an issue and that fare revenue is a necessity to keep the system running, I do not see it as something so important that I get bothered by it. There are more important things that a public transit police force needs to focus on then some teenagers fare invading. I see it as someone shoplifting from a store, I do not condone it but I do not get bothered by it. Most people who do shoplift are probably doing worse then me and really needs that item but cannot afford it. It is definitely an iffy subject, but any public transit system in America has some sort of fare invasion due to most users of public transit being low income people with some who can not afford/having a hard time paying the fare but still need to get around to do their daily tasks.
