This is an excuse. The MTA has eliminated a LOT of jobs that have had a direct effect on fare-beaters. There used to be an MTA worker in every station who would control the door that lead to the train platform. Now there are hardly any workers, except for the main stations. Therefore anyone can open the doors from the inside and allow people to simply walk onto the platforms. This is just one way the MTA has saved money on salaries yet now loses money on rides.
Yeah - like taxes...
Fare avoidance is a fundamentally given right. To prosecute is to ignore the rights of man
That's essentially what they are doing.
Then it is not a disproportionately large number of blacks being arrested, is it?

Note to Spectrum: Lack of enforcement is to blame.
THEY are the ones doing the crime. THEY make themselves "disproportionate". Blacks make up approximately 13% of the U.S. population, but they commit 52% of crime.
