Reply to comment by ultradoublerainbow88 in Feds not coming to MTA’s rescue under GOP House, Schumer says by newzee1

I'm sure 90% of the fare evaders can't afford the fare as it is. You go after them you're only sticking them in an already over taxed judicial system where nothing will get back to MTA. They need to stop giving contracts to the lowest bidder and give it to the ones that guarantee the work is done on time at fair prices. They need to be more on top of who they are using, what their contractors are using, and the time that these contractors are actually putting into the project and not just what they're billing MTA for.

Nah most fare evader are like you and me. Just regular people who have jobs and aren’t in poverty. They just run in while the door is opento save a buck. I do agree with you that the mta needs to stop complaining about us without taking a look in the mirror

Or you have people who was paying $1500+ a year in fares and don’t see any benefit to it when they’re constantly running late, having service issues etc so you no longer tolerate their b.s
