Reply to comment by Aubergine911 in On fare evasion, what do you think the percentage of riders don't pay the fare? by therealsazerac

That's what I thought. The sub here seems to project that the majority of riders are skipping fares. As an anecdote, I commute from U Street and there are people paying their fare and about 2-4 don't.

It's the reddit and internet effect. Strongly advisable to not use this sub as your only source of info.

What are you talking about? Suburbanites in Loudoun County have their finger on the pulse when it comes to a city they go into maybe twice a year.

It really depends on what station and time of day. There have been times Im exiting Stadium/Armory and way more than 50% are jumping the gates. But if I average all my rides over a week, I would estimate maybe 20% of people jump the gates.

This. Ppl jump the gates all the time at Glenmont. Twinbrook, not so much.
