    Fare evasion is like stealing bread. It’s a crime of desperation.

    This kind of budgetary indulgence only indicates the MTA doesn’t much like the public of the city it serves.

      Nah definitely not. If you’re that desperate where are you even going on the subway? I’ve literally seen homeless people pay the fare. The only time I’d consider it justifiable is if you’re in a rush, the train is right their, and your payment isn’t working. Otherwise like what, where you gonna go and what you gonna do if you can’t even afford $2.75?
