>>2030037It's unethical. No, not because your $4 train ticket will make or break the regional transit system, no I don't give a fuck about the direct cash flow of a couple hundred people skipping the fare. It's unethical because it throws off the count, and makes reported figures underrepresent actual usage. How are transit authorities supposed to justify adding lines, increasing frequency, remodeling stations, and modernizing their equipment if ridership figures are lower than usage?
