[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Anyone school age wouldn't be paying the fare anyway, though — seems like the barrier to moving from swiping your Kids Ride Free farecard to just jumping the turnstile isn't that high. The system loses out on the revenue that the city would pay for the free rides, but... it's sort of hard for me to get that upset that kids who wouldn't be paying to ride the system anyway are not swiping in or out.

(Though I will say a guy jumping the turnstile the other day nearly landed on me as I was swiping into Metro on the way home from work a few weeks ago, which was annoying, though not as annoying as it would have been if he actually hit me.)[/quote]

It's not kids. Everyone I saw today walking over the gates were adults well into their 30s, who just dgaf about anything. There is a pervasive, lawless attitude prevalent in DC mixed with a mind warping entitlement mentality.

I dunno why I even obey the law and pay for fare when lawbreaking is legalized, as much as that is an oxymoron.

I bet you actually pay your DC parking and traffic tickets too. Guess what, no one is paying those either.[/quote]
