If a fare inspector happens upon somebody that hasn't paid their fare, they can just take the payment of the higher penalty fare and issue a ticket for the trip. Many agencies issue civil or criminal summons as an additional deterrent, but that's by no means a requirement, especially if the penalty fare is high. Also, platforms on POP systems are fare-paid areas, so if you want to use the platform to take pictures of trains, you have to have a valid ticket or else the POP cop can hit you with a fine on the platform. Wrong...that's certainly not a universal truth. And even if it were, people using the platform to take pictures of trains is an extremely small minority of those that would benefit from PoP. The notion that would be a valid reason to spend a half-billion dollars a year on conductors instead of PoP is hilarious. |
