The NYPD Spent $150 Million to Catch Farebeaters Who Cost the MTA $104,000

Like some European cities you mean? Like, most places in Switzerland, you don’t have to pay to use public transportation.

However, I strongly doubt that will ever happen.

Is that how it is out in Europe?

Well that’s how it should be NYPD and MTA greasing their pockets and over criminalizing the poor.

The concept of paying for public transportation doesn’t even make sense. City taxes should handle that for all citizens. I’d be willing to pay more taxes to make that a reality.

not the right way to analyze the issue

how much did the revenue go up per rider. thats the real metric that would help separate how many ppl actually pay who mighta evaded before

the purpose of the overtime isnt to arrest people so to only use the arrested ppl as the barometer for the money paid is lazy, and quite frankly stupid. the journalist should be ashamed. the purpose is to ensure people pay dont commit crime.

I remember when posters on here were pushing for Adams because crime was supposedly completely out of control. Those posters are strangely absent from this thread

you know why stores have a policy of instructing employees not to physically stop shoplifters, no item(s) thats stolen will exceed the cost of attorney fees and possibly liability in a lawsuit for whatever reason. it's dollars and cents.

And that leads to more brazen crime…

this is what a bootlicker upholding bureacracy sounds like, any number of increase could’ve been mentioned there’d of been no difference in response

with 155 million in overtime, the mta could be free for all for the next 10 years.

No the purpose was to funnel public funds into the coffers of the NYPD to do nothing but increase their salaries.
Imagine being this gullible after seeing this shyt happen over and over and over again

Propaganda runs deep with far too many of you to the point you won’t even attempt to question your worldview
