NYC Just Abandoned Its Subway… Permanently

The NYC Subway just keeps getting worse, and now since more and more riders use it without paying, it's becoming a lawless dump instead of the world class transit system new yorkers deserve....

I'm from Germany and i am amazed how Americans managed to mess this up so badly. There are no gates and nothing stopping you from getting onto buses and trains. Very rarely there is a conductor checking the tickets but it happens like once every 100 rides. Yet fare evasion isn't nearly as big an issue here as it seems to be in New York. And i can assure you, this most certainly isn't because Germans are some morally superior people. It's simply because fares are actually affordable for poor people here.

[@Potatwielder]

But you have gates for commuter trains and metro right, right?😅

[@theincrediblefox]

@@Potatwielder Nope. No gates, barriers or anything. You can just walk onto any train platform if you want. What i'll say though, is that on commuter trains conductors checking for tickets are a bit more common, maybe like once every 20 rides or so and on long distance and high speed trains there are conductors on almost every single train.

[@DaCouchWarrior]

Im from Poland. Pretty much same, even if you not expecting conductor or you just know there wont be one (lets say you will disembark on next station) you still buy ticket.

[@maxwang7937]

@@Potatwielder Metro trains (or U-Bahn in German), Commuter Train (S-Bahn) or Regional Trains all do NOT have gates in Germany, you can walk straight into the trains, and many stations are very simple, with only platforms. The key is to actually have some punishment (60 euros) for those who are caught by ticket inspectors. Inspectors randomly ride trains and busses to check tickets. Also there's a somewhat cheap Deutschlandsticket, with which you can ride all regional/communtor train/busses for 49 euros per month (29 for students).

[@FrankieBoy-whatever]

Same in Vienna. You could just walk in without a ticket as there is nothing like a gate. In case you get caught, which hardly ever happens you pay a fine of around 100€. Seeing that a yearly ticket is only 365€ to ride all public transportation in the city it’s just not worth the risk, even if getting caught is extremely unlikely

[@B3Band]

The shrink is gonna tell the city that it's the MTA's fault that people enter the subway illegally, and that those poor people are victims. The fare evaders then use the shrink's analysis to file a class action lawsuit against the MTA for "forcing" them to jump the turnstiles.

@@WICK_3D I believe one can be both criminal and victim. Here me out. I'm an individualist, and I believe that people always have the ultimate decision on how things go down for themselves, under arrest? resist or comply, breakout, bail, or stay your time. Someone threatening you? kill them, let them kill you, flee... I believe that even if events can prevent a desired outcome, immediate decisions are always viable and the individual alone is responsible for those actions. with this in mind, I believe that people who don't pay for fairs, is labelled a criminal, because while they were pushed to make a decision, they could have just not taken the fair, and pay later or pay if they had enough. Now, in the opposing side, is that people would likely not commit the crime if they weren't pushed that far, and I agree with that. Theft would be non-existent if the community was high-trust, afluent, and had tight-knit relations. But people are pushed by circumstances and nowhere is perfect, that's understandable.

"no emergency exit" is an immediate red flag, no matter what systems you have in place to open the gates in an emergency. what if for whatever reason, there's nobody in the booth during an emergency? what if there's a power outage and the gates can't open? there's a reason that wouldn't fly in the united states: fire regulations prohibit it, and for good reason. on that note, doors that are spring-loaded and thus open when power to the motor/solenoid/whatever is cut along with an emergency override switch on the wall that mechanically cuts power to the gates and activates the fire alarm would be a good solution that balances safety with stopping fare-dodgers.

Why would anyone pay for poor service? MTA needs to address all the delays, the horrendous weekend schedules, and the terrible night schedule for trains and buses. NYC has a massive night life and yet traveling home at like 2am is the absolute worst. With all that money they get better train service would be great.

Hiring a psychologist to find out why people evade paying their fares. They are literally doing anything to not put criminals in jail and wasting even more money. Only heavy consequences deter people. Going to jail and heavy fines will make someone think twice about not spending a few bucks for fair. Hopefully the psychologist will tell them that although knowing who these politicians hire I highly doubt it

Where I'm living there's no physical barrier in the subway, you can enter without a pass or ticket, but sometimes there are subway conductors at the exit. You must show your pass/ticket to exit otherwise you have to pay a fine. Most people have a pass because if you use public transport daily you're likely to get fined for way more than the pass would've cost you. The fine is about 2.5x of a monthly pass.

Fare evasion is due to two things: 1: the service provided is perceived as below the cost to access it (which is rising) 2: people are less able to afford the train while still being completely reliant on it

In Queensland Australia where I live, we have transit police who are regular police but just assigned to transit. Their job is to walk train, bus & ferry platforms and ride the transit services. When they jump on a service they'll require everyone to demonstrate they've either tapped on with enough credit to cover the fair, or possess a valid digital single use ticket. If you don't, it's an on the spot $300 fine and you get a fare evasion charge on your criminal record. They also sometimes hang out at gates to check ticketing. You might go 3 or 4 services without seeing one, but eventually you will. It makes fare evasion like russian roulette because you're guaranteed to get caught it's just a matter of when. They're also about to drop all fares down to 50c in August.

[@nthgth]

Good to know at least QLD is taking it seriously. Is that state-wide?

[@changeofseason8054]

I have been on the light rail on the Gold Coast, After I paid I was watching to see how many tapped and paid after me and only one person bothered out of 12 or so others.

[@tjmarx]

@nthgth Cities have very little power in Australia. Councils only worry about local issues like bins and footpaths. Law enforcement is handled by states as it should be, never local government. Translink, which is the public transit network for Queensland is an independent government organisation (IGO) that is partially funded by fares and partially through a funding sharing arrangement between the federal, state and local governments. They operate independently with some state overview.

[@tjmarx]

@changeofseason8054 The GC light rail has tap on points all over the platforms and on the light rail itself. Digital singles were also first trialled on the GC light rail. There are more transit cops on the gc than anywhere else in the translink network due to the high concentration of parolees, addicts and youth offenders on the GC.

This just sounds insane. Doing this increases costs for people buying the items in the trucks, but at the same time there's a shoplifting problem. Wouldn't it be fair to assume that the people shoplifting are probably not paying their fare for the bus or subway either? So instead of punishing the people caught doing any of it, like they should, it all goes back to the people playing by the rules are the only ones getting screwed.

Idk what is working better in Germany, but it definitely is. There are people coming into the bus/train to check for your ticket. So you could be lucky in 9/10 rides and ride for free but if you get caught, you pay a very high fine, which makes it not worth it anymore. Also it's not the city/police that have to check the tickets, but the company itself (or a security company employed by them)

[@petrhorak3268]
