As long as they make fare jumping the norm, fares could be $100 a ride and it wouldn't' raise money for them. It would just make fare jumping more common.
It might get to the point where the ADA protests that the gates only make handicapped people pay.

Raising fares isn’t going to fix that, especially with lax fare enforcement.

What does Metro lose if free riders don’t ride? Some annoying people who take up space.

That will just mean more fare jumpers.

They probably signed long term contracts. They have to replace broken down trains because it's more expensive to repair them then replace them.

So the factory won't open until 2024. Does that mean we won't see these trains until 2025 at the earliest?

Or trains that run more often than 8 times an hour during "Rush Hour". They are still charging Rush Hour fares for down period service.

That's exactly why fare jumping became normalized after the DC Council decriminalized it.
