Sometimes farebeating is OK, says NYC Councilman Jackson |

Posted by Gold_12TH on Mon May 28 01:18:15 2012  There's a time and a place for everything — even farebeating, in one City Councilman’s opinion. Councilman Robert Jackson said he told his wife to duck under the turnstiles at the 181st St. station on the A line, which had a broken MetroCard machine, rather than walk to a staffed entrance at 184th St. “I told her to go under,” Jackson said. “I would have gone under. “Whoever goes to buy a MetroCard should be entitled to a free ride if the machines aren’t working, if there’s no token booth clerk there,” he added. The MTA swiped back. “Farebeating is a crime,” MTA spokesman Adam Lisberg said. “It’s wrong. It’s illegal, and it deprives the MTA of the money it needs to carry you on the subway.” --- http://www.nydailynews.com/new-york/farebeating-city-councilman-robert-jackson-article-1.1083614#ixzz1w8elGChs |
