The MTA has reviewed fare beating in the past and is now conducting a more comprehensive audit, said agency spokesman Adam Lisberg.The most recent review showed bus riders took about 6.2 million free trips a year, costing the MTA about $14 million. According to the MTA, combined ridership on NYCT and MTAB was 783,595,332 in 2011. There's no way that farebeaters constitute less than 1 percent of total riders. |

At major intersections have the NYPD pull all those going on without the fair.90% will stop doing it . People do it because everyone else is doing it. Let's face it, the liberal democratic socialist system feeds this. There are some populations that do not pay for anything or get it half or more off. Do you know that many of my students don't ever look at how much something costs, they just run there food stamp cards through. I have had parents call and thank me for teaching there sons and daughters how to comparison shop. |

Interesting...hows about if you dont have a bus to ride?eliminating the route would draw a flurry of complaints for the nabs it runs through..yet nobody tells them to "PAY YOUR FARE" to support the service. You want FREE? Ride a bike..or WALK. I gotta Pay..YOU gotta PAY. |

I live the future. Have you ever ridden a city bus mobbed with school kids? They were obviously never taught by their parents to be respectful and quiet on a bus. In fact, I see parents let their small children jump around on the bus and on the seats all the time. If you don't slap their ass and tell them to sit down and be quiet then, why would they know better once they're out on their own? |

When I was younger (I'm 20 now), there were very few times I didn't have money or my school pass for the train/bus and if I didn't have my fare, I wouldn't ride because I wasn't going to put myself in an embarrassing situation by telling the bus operator I didn't have my fare and not be let on or jump the turnstile and risk getting caught. I'd just skate to school from my house and back if I didn't get a new card issued to me. Although it took 20 minutes longer I was never a fan of free rides on the bus. |

You have to consider all TAs in the South are not huge like the MTA is or better yet come even close to that size. Smaller TAs usually don't have a huge issue with fare beaters and are able to control this situation. As for the MTA's situation, well there are ups and downs of being the largest transit agency in the nation. Fare beating that costs the MTA $14,000,000 is obviously one of the downs and can be prevented too. |

There's not as many crush loads in the south like the cities I would see this occur in. However there are still some standee routes where they'd do this.I do however find the gov't definition of 'costs' amusing. If they weren't paying, then they'd be walking instead in some of the cases, therefore they wouldn't be losing that much. They are figuring those riders should be paying, not riding all together. Not to mention the theory of mine of why does public transit require user/rider fees... |

I wouldn't really say not as many crush loads. Most of the bus routes around here are experiencing that right now. They even went as far as to send out notices via the internet and on buses themselves telling riders that ridership has increased and buses maybe running full. They are tapping into the reserve fleet right now. There is on order for four NovaBus Artics, which are going to arrive either late this year or early 2013. So those artics should help with the issues we are having. |
