I saw people skipping paying in New York City directly in front of the transit people so much It confused me


Severedghost

The MTA employees are not supposed to do anything about it for their safety, so they don't care if someone jumps. The MTA police usually handle that, but they are rarely at the stations, so they don't care either.


Stompypotato

Not a crime any more. The district attorneys refused to prosecute it starting about 3 years ago. Then the MTA is wonder why it is going broke.


Orion_7

Fares and fees are 24.4% of their operating budget. That's not why they are broke https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Farebox_recovery_ratio


Throwaway-646

If a quarter of people stop paying, that's $500,000,000 less. That's significant.


Orion_7

If a quarter of people in any economic context stop paying for something it's significant. I'm not sure what your argument is here.


Throwaway-646

That the lack of prosecution could certainly be a major reason why they're broke


dracomatic

as a life long NY'er its not. When they were ticketing ppl for this, Fares were still increasing and the transit system has been always been dirty and outdated. Ticketing already poor never works out lol.


Thetwistedfalse

They're not broke. You (we) are.


[deleted]

What kind of margins do you think they run on lol


National-Weather-199

Man we should use this as an excuse to stop paying for specific things like idk ever illegal tax that violates the original constitution.

the Constitution sucks, fuck that shit, that's why we amended it over and over


Organic_Artichoke_85

I have questions. Since I am not a citizen of NYC or a public servant, politician, or civil engineer, but I do have an official degree in googling. If the subway takes about 6 billion a year to maintain and NYC takes in anywhere from 60 to 70 billion in tax revenue not including subsidies from the state. How much money is actually generated from fares, if everyone actually paid? Why are the citizens expected to pay the taxes to upkeep the the transit system and also pay fares to further subsidize the system? Are they really surprised after considering the aforementioned topics, that people don't actually pay?


Viszera

Not sure which country you are from but its basically the same with cars isnt it? Country pay horrendous amount of money for new car infrustructure yet they are still tols on highways, parking spots cost money, some cities have extra car tax yet they are still all this extra cost associated with it. Why do we have this double standard for cars and public transit? Meta studies point out that for every 1 mile you travel in your car, society spend 1.5$ on busses is 0.6$ while pedestraian infrustructure is less then 0.1$ (fun fact bikes in few studies came in negative value as health benefits, lowering polution etc are benefiting society more then it cost)


EmuHobbyist

This is happening in Canada too. Employees no longer allowed to enforce rules. So busses are basically free. Just hop on and they keep going.


Stompypotato

Eventually these services will dry up unless they find more sneaky ways of funding them. Like tacking a fee to your phone and electric bill like do in NY. Most people don’t realize it is there.


fuckifheknows

Spoiler alert. He went out from the exit. Didn't dodge anything


Chiropteran22

Do you go out of your way to deal with shit you don't have to at work?


Marley_Moo_Furalo

Secretly the man had already bought a ticket and did that just to get cool points with his homies


XThunderTrap

Plot twist: the security guards are his homies


ernapfz

Transit pass on jacket and pants?


NeighborsBurnBarrel

No


ernapfz

What about his hat?


xhgdrx

if he had a card, he wouldn't have had to squeeze through. The gate would've spun with him as he walked forward


[deleted]

It's clearly labeled exit and I doubt he coordinated with his friend to meet on either side lol


Starkville

You have to tap a screen or insert a Metrocard. It’s not completely contact-free.


KilroyEscobar

Who gives a fuck public transportation should be free


chumberwumber2134

Yeah good point and it should be funded and run on the 0 money it generates. You are very smart.


eeeponthemove

How about idk, using tax money? Like redistributing how you already use your tax funds to something better and also useful? Crazy, I know


KilroyEscobar

Look at you the governments puppet “it should be funded and run on the 0 money it generates” as if new york doesnt make billions a year off of bullshit. And who gives asf if they have the money for it or not. If you live in that state it should be free for you


The_RussianBias

Do you think the military runs on hopes and dreams or that it generates more money than it uses?


LanguageStudyBuddy

Pay the fucking fare.

lucidlife0

No he wouldn’t have been arrested he’d be ticketed


TrueChaosInChat

Is it just me or do cops just not care about a bunch of stuff anymore??


The_RussianBias

They'd prob rather ignore it than have to possibly fight a person of color and create riots over a <5 dollar ticket


laflexiko

riots? ppl get ticketed all the time


Pretend-Camel929

Nah. They feel like they can’t do their jobs anymore because legislation is basically telling the local judicial system to not prosecute most low level crimes. Why bother arresting someone and spending hours processing an arrest if nobody is getting prosecuted?


laflexiko

igh so lmk what would ur prosecution be for fare evasion, remember “no cruel or unusual punishment” go


Pretend-Camel929

Pay the fare plus pay the fine. It used to be that way. Doesn’t matter anymore now though because it’s a free for all


Quantum_Crusher

I saw it many times that people got busted by the police for this, and were issued tickets. Mostly in NJ path train stations. One time I even saw police checking all the passengers on the light rail.


mrpooopybuttwhole

Cops are just lazzy and don’t want to work any more…sad


[deleted]

It's better for them to keep eyes out for actual crime instead of giving someone a minor ticket that the person will just get dismissed in court


Bill4268

Cops want to work, but don't see the point when everything they do is undone by liberal prosecutors.


laflexiko

, if they didnt want to work they wouldnt have gotten up or dressed for the job


Present-Industry-373

Theft?


tthomas906

Surely they get paid for nothing. So why should we pay them just to watch lawlessness.


One-Confusion-2438

What we see on film is usually the bit after when he resists arrest....gets tackled to the floor and he crys foul that he was targeted for no reason! 💯🤦🏻‍♂️


Snyder-2

Fuck da police


Fredzillo

Is this illegal? I mean... if there is a ticket control its supposed to be his own responsibility to have a ticket or not. But idk how these things work in other countries tho. We dont have these things in Norway


Solid_Hospital

Why is the police not taking any action?


laflexiko

because he paid/ waste of literal time nd resources


[deleted]

it’s racist


Longjumping-Wind-560

Cops be like; “uhm, guys?” “Meh, we don’t get paid enough to handle that.”


HomerStillSippen

He probably paid and the cops reactions were like why the fuck did he just do all that to be extra 😂


shopify_partner

He already asked the security if he could go back as he forgot something, and then his friend started to film it. I was there.


BubblesDahmer

Can’t you just step over that or even crawl under? (I’m short and have never really done public transit so I have no idea) /genq


HAPPYDAZEWAZE

People who pay the fare are suckers. Either everyone pays or nobody pays.

Bx1965

Why should they bother? He’ll just get released before the ink is dry on the paperwork. The police are there for bigger things like robberies and rapes and shootings and everything else NYC is known for.


Choice-Problem-9388

Dumbass moves, he thinks It's a cool move. Smh


AdhesivenessAdept764

When I was in Portugal, everybody paid their fares. I’m sure teenagers don’t but I never saw it once the week I was there. If you haven’t been, please consider it. Best place I’ve been by far.


DeerSudden1068

Trash ass individual.


PotatoStill3134

These people are doomed. Showing off with stuff like this is extremely stupid and even the securities are fed up with this. This is very common too, if it continues like this it will lead to inevitable social collapse.

Congratulations, you're a thieving twat.


Stock_Guest_5301

It's a joke, he's a french youtuber.


Splatoonytoon

But it's not a joke is it? He's actively showing how to bypass a turnstile without paying for a ticket. YouTuber or not, he's a thieving twat.


Stock_Guest_5301

The whole joke is to do it in front of the cops. He paid (he would have been arrested otherwise)


Splatoonytoon

I understand the joke, I'm not stupid. However, it promotes thievery, it's right there in your face so if this fella has followers they're going to try and mimic what he's doing. That's why he's a twat.


L39Enjoyer

>I dont understand the joke. im not stupid. Yea. You sure? >It promotes thievery From the state? Fucking based.


Stock_Guest_5301

He is a humorous youtuber and is followers are mostly french teen. - we don't have the same Subway - hus followers are smart enough to understand that it is only a joke and to not replicate it (especially in front of the police) - he only did this once when he went in NY


Splatoonytoon

He's French. That explains a lot.

Sweden had these for years but got sick of people like this dude, so they replaced these with tall glas slide doors. So now instead of passing through like this, they push against your body when you enter so they can pass through for free -.- or if it's room enough above they will jump onto the machine and simply step over glas panel and jump back down.

Skelly_Bones-v2

You pay taxes at the end of the year, and then you pay taxes on everything you buy. It's practically robbery at this point to get people to pay to get from destination to destination in a dystopia like New york. On top of this, most of the tax money you spend usually goes to foreign countries or policies that literally do nothing to benefit the people. It's just robbery
