[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Maybe if it didn't tolerate all the fare-jumpers (especially the ones on the buses) and enforced their own rules, there wouldn't be such a shortfall. [/quote] Sure, it would be $399,950/day. Plus $10k in costs to catch, detain and prosecute all the jumpers. [/quote] All it takes a few hard convictions to set an example and precedence. Just like arresting the teenager who ate french fries on metro years ago. It's worth the investment and if it was followed through and the zero-tolerance stance was in place metro wouldn't have ended up as the gross, dirty, wrappers everywhere, smelly transit system it has become.
