I always laugh at the people who pay for fares for public transportation. It’s an honor system. You just get on and don’t pay. No one ever says anything. And those police officers who are supposed to check never say anything.
Depends where you are. In Phoenix I’ve seen people get cited and escorted off the train. They’re real cops, if you refuse to identify, they can arrest.
I believe that public transportation should be free, especially for low income individuals. I don’t fit that definition anymore, so I am happy to pay to help keep it funded.
In Dallas the light rail normally doesn’t check but they’re doing it more frequently now mainly to get homeless people off the trains, and they will make you get off if you don’t have a ticket. The busses always check though.

If it’s a honor system that you don’t obey, are we to conclude you are without honor? ^^
I pay for public tranposrtation because I like my bus drivers. should I have to? no, it should be 100% publicly funded. but it’s not, so I do.
unless you look not white and/or housed enough to them
I check both of those boxes and still don’t get hassled.
You’re dumb.

In my area, the public transportation hall monitors never checks and they stopped bothering to check mainly to get people to ride public transport.
