But they live in a city with a communist mayor, run by a socialist party. Why should they have to pay for essential transportation?
I guess they have to be allowed on the bus.
What do you expect from a city full of RAT filth.
This is a result of having the police ignore “quality of life” crimes. One of the first things Giuliani did was to arrest subway turnstile jumpers. That set the tone for success.
Escape From New York.

NY City needs to go bankrupt.
Its being held together at this point by the printed, fiat US dollar, massive debt and ultra-low Federal Reserve interest rates.
Easy. Just raise the fare another 20%. Do I have to think of everything?
Okay, 25% I didn’t say I was good at math.
Easy to solve this problem, stop pushing F5
Wow! Im so out of touch!
Havent ridden a city bus in decades. Back then, you HAD to pay to ride.
But I guess lots of things have changed since those days.
The Demo NYC Rats pols in power steal from their DemRat voters who in turn steal back like this scenario and yet they are all wedded in dysfunctional kinship. When all the cheese runs out then lookout.
How much money does the MTA spend on bureaucracy and overhead? Maybe it should do an audit of itself, cut unnecessary expenses, modify some lanes, and introduce a flat $1 fee for everyone (yes, including kids), instead of this group getting reduced fare, and that group of people not paying because their Muslim or something.
If the reported figure is 22%, the true figure is almost certainly much higher.
Years ago we dropped quarters and other change into the box and took a seat. Rare was the exception where the fare was not paid. In a normal society no fare, no ride. And it didnt cost a fortune to ride the bus either.
No sweat it’s a socialist state. Everything is subsidized by high taxes.
The F5 button should summon a police car where the evader is taken off the bus and given a ticket at the next stop.
Repeat offenders get called in to the judge to explain themselves.
Ruin their day AND make everyone else wait, and the problem will take care of itself. No one has common sense anymore.
I have a friend who uses our bus system. You either pay upon entering the door, exact change, or wave a bus pass in front of pass reader. The driver is right there to stop you if its not all kosher. Before you actually board.
Giuliani followed the broken window theory. The current policy will lead to more problems. Human nature is something liberals dont understand, although they are good at exploiting negative traits.
Tomorrow we be F5...... why pay when there is no penalty!
Its gotten too dangerous for the bus drivers to try to collect the fares. An increased number of the freeloaders are violence- prone
