You're the one who seems to think that the fare only exists to prevent people from beating it.

You're confusing the reasons for a fare with the reasons to enforce payment of the fare set.

You said that the fare is enforcement for farebeaters. My post was simply an extension of your faulty logic. If a fare is only an enforcement for farebeating, then eliminating a fare eliminates that enforcement, which implies that farebeating can exist in the absence of a fare. Explain that!

Explain what?

As I said, there IS a fare/access charge/money you have to pay to sue the service, for a variety of reasons. There are other reasons to enforce the fare, to make sure that people can't use the service without paying the fare.

In your world, there is no fare. But that's not the world that we live in, at least according to the PA.

To re-iterate what I originally said:

"You're confusing how things are with what how you think things ought to be.

If you want to play that game, then you have to persuasively answer to the PA and the local community why there should be no Airtrain fare for anyone boarding at Howard Beach. I don't think that either you or Terrapin Station have done that yet."

That's still my view. At least in THIS world, anyway. Maybe in the world where Airtrain is free, things are different; but that doesn't really interest me.
