Do you disagree? Are you saying that since the city isn’t doing what they’ve promised to do when it comes to maintaining the cleanliness of the street, you shouldn’t need to pay for transportation? (This is fair! If there’s basic services that people aren’t getting, then there’s obviously going to be lower inclination for residents to pay for other services, such as public transit). How can we get to the root of the problem ?

This is theft & morally unethical.

This part of our transit network relies on the HONOR SYSTEM. This is YOUR transportation network and your neighbor’s transportation network. Over time, cheating the honor system pushes up fares or forces schedule cuts, which ultimately decreases mobility & quality of life and increases community fractures & isolation.

Think about the role you play in your community. We all have a part to play to increase economic opportunity, keep our neighborhoods running smoothly & improve our quality of life. Be honorable & civil & just pay the fare.

Also, imagine if nearly 100% riders paid the fare?! If this was the case, there’s a much better case for investment in expanding light rail lines & increasing capacity.
