Nah. MPD doesn't care, service is trash, and raising the rates to airfare levels won't make a dent in the deficit based on ridership. It's not on the few (who will pay) to subsidize the many (who won't).

To be fair, i take the metro a lot and it’s not the majority who skip the gates. It’s mainly kids and homeless people.

If you think “pushing people off busses” is half the crime in D.C., you spend too much time on Reddit.
