The public transport costs too much. The people will not pay and not use. What is the purpose of public transport? Profit. Only profit.
Serious questions, how do you know if someone is a repeat offender if you never stop anyone and how are you not serious about a billion dollar problem?
Raise taxes on business and homes that are near the transit system then make riding free.
that is funny we bulit plexy glass for toll evaders but not for the safety of riders ha🤣
You're worried about turnstiles; 95% of New Yorkers don't pay fares on the buses.
I knew it. Now what $10 dollars per ride?
How about improving the cleanliness of the stations, ensuring the schedules are being met, reducing cancellations and the need for transfer shuttles and just improving the overall infrastructure. And most importantly…firing managment as is because they are incompetent. Maybe if people had a better experience and a public transit system they can be proud of…they would do their share and pay more consistently.
Paying a premium to be packed like sardines in a pissy train thats making me late because they cant stay true to the schedule is crazy.
Fare evaders aren't a problem, corruption is a problem.
London underground has always had these gates (the black ones) but they can just be forced open but they do set off an alarm. At each national rail and underground station there is always a person watching the gates and helping passengers.
They had better be renovating the whole subway system soon. The "subway system is too old" argument is not a strong enough justification not to overhaul the whole thing. It's just embarassing to see this in a supposedly best city in the world
I Guess this is why the fare is going up smh…. They should be doing something about all the people that's being attacked.
Everything going up prices in nyc
Meanwhile they worried about that while most of nyc lives in poverty. How
About starting with that problem. And speaking of train stations, you guys have no issues with drug addicts turning 191st 1 train station into their personal shoot up station where drug addicts all meet. 168th st as well.
Cheating, stealing, and trying to get things free is part of the american culture… It's a way of life.
If NY had accessible poverty programs where commuters would be able to get monthly passes for a fraction of the price or even for free, a portion of this wouldn't be happening. The other portion are people who can afford it but for a variety of reasons aren't purchasing it. NY has been cutting workers and automating their jobs. There are so many elements to this that's caused by NY and its government.
Fare beaters should get 40 lashes.
I would put a bicycle to generate electricity ⚡️ and depend how you pedal you’ll get a free ticket 🎫
Nothing can be fixed until the people get fixed. They would find another way today or tomorrow
Public transportation should be FREE like public school
US becoming dumber and dumber everyday
