who says anything about lawyers?

Yeah it seems like this subreddit somehow attracted all of the center right austerity consultants or something. Just such animosity towards the poor and underserved and an “I’ve got mine” mentality

Good question, metro should probably be a public service and gov’t subsidized to be free for DC residents

Do you know how many demographics in this city get free rides anyway? And did you know that regardless of if anyone pays or even is there, the trains will run anyway and will cost the same amount regardless. Missed revenue is not lost money and wmata’s inability to budget properly is not at all the fault of fare evaders. More likely, it’s due to the huge costs of metro police who do very little to stop crime on the metro (see: shooting at the petworth station this morning), and overinflated corporate salaries, along with incompetence regarding maintenance and updates which cost huge money in the medium and long term

comments section here is brain dead - how do y’all still think fare evaders are the reason metro doesn’t have money it literally makes no sense
