Re: NYCT hiring fare checkers

So if he can see that the fare gate already opened for me, I guess all he could possibly be checking was that I wasn't illicitly using a special/half-fare card or something like that.

He might have to check a certain number of fare a day. That could be why he scanned you. And that's probably why he's standing a the entry point. He's being lazy. Instead of walking platforms and checking he's standing right where people enter the system.

In NYC they will need to be really well-trained for dealing with the public. They may need to be accompanied by actual police whenever possible. They should also probably document everything well so they are ready to address accusations of racism and the like.

I can only imagine the lingo they'll use in training.

The job description said the idea to reduce reliance on NYPD for enforcing fare payment.

As for racial profiling, that will be an issue. Accusations will be made.

When I heard about this new job title I imagined the poor employee doing this job on the B46.
