NYPD Catching Bus Fare Evaders in Bay Ridge
For years, almost half the people riding NYC buses have not been paying their fare! (See story) This week NYC papers and other outlets are covering the story, usually fare invasion isn’t covered widely.
This week, they are policing the fare on Staten Island buses that come to Bay Ridge.
“Bus riders that don’t pay the fare will be escorted off of the bus at stops staffed by NYPD officers, who could issue a summons ranging from $50 to $100 and, in some cases, make an arrest.”(Source)
A lot of social media is against people paying a fare for the bus! People think it should be free, so liberals are writing: Tax the rich. It’s so bizarre that they don’t feel they should pay for their transportation.
Pay your fare.
