I didn't say it would. I was responding to someone who said that fare raises wouldn't be on the table if everyone paid, which is likely not true.

As long as they make fare jumping the norm, fares could be $100 a ride and it wouldn't' raise money for them. It would just make fare jumping more common.

It might get to the point where the ADA protests that the gates only make handicapped people pay.
