    Why are they blurring out the faces of the people breaking the law, while showing the faces of people who actually paid? Should be the other way around. The people who jump the gates like that at least deserve some humiliation, although they probably aren't the types that get embarassed easily.

      Lmaooo bootlicking ass. Really trippin off folks doing what should be free anyway?? Rail lines in this country are shit and then they have the audacity to hike up fares. It’s just going to keep happening. Trust me the metro will be alright missing out on a few dollars

      True
      These people that are breaking their rules are not shown to be guilty of doing it
      But only show the good people that acutally pay for the train rides😅

      Agreed. It seems as if many cities don't want to curb fare evasion. It cost the taxpayers a lot more $$ hiring transit police. They can't be everywhere!!

      Yep, or still jump over them. We have these in The Netherlands at the bigger stations and they just don't stop fare evaders. The smaller stations either don't have any gates at all, or have gates that are higher, but they still don't stop fare-evaders, they either crawl underneath them or climb over them. And fuck, 2,5 BILLION euro's was poured into this bottomless pit, the National Railways even lost sight of something like 1 billion of that money and could not explain where it went... current costs today are being kept a good secret out of reasons for 'competition', which is total bullshit.
      I still wonder how many extra ticket check teams one could have hired and for how long if you had 'just' 2,5 BILLION to spend...

      lowlifes end up riding along with respectable people, for starters. plus honest people are paying twice. Via taxes, then through fares. These pieces of shit are doing neither and then have the gall to be all smug about it. and as if they have some important place to be. wastes of space with no jobs. Leeches who are too stupid to know how embarrassed they should be.
