Thank You. If the MTA instituted a plan to combat such problem. The pro black woke community and the SJW's will fight such plan due to the fact that such plan will mainly target poor black Americans. I noticed here in the South Bronx. When buses from Harlem or from the hub traverse to areas near housing projects where disproportionately black Americans live. Most of the fare-beaters hop on around Hub and Harlem, and get off near housing projects or vice versa. And yes their are white fare-beaters too, but these ones are homeless, or on their way to some meth clinic. However the far majority are black folks who have means to buy fares. Why are you hoping the bus while you have an iPhone in your hand a rocking a pair of MJ's on your feet. You can't make this stuff up.
I know of a lady who was on her way home. White woman btw, and a college professor. Some teens stole her iPhone on the subway, snatched and ran off with it. What did this white female woman do? She did not call the police, thanks to learning about social issues and how certain problems can cause later consequences. Instead of calling the police, she simply went to the Apple store, and Apple gave her a replacement iPhone. Problem solved. If she would have went to the police, the cops would have looked and searched for the teens, all the teens where black btw. And if the cops harmed the teens, and word would have gotten out. Who would be liable? The cops, or the white woman who called the cops on the teens, even though the teens did not commit a violent crime. Optics matter especially in our current political cultural and social era. Remember, the greatest weapon for folks these days like the SJW and the woke-class is the iPhone and twitter.
Three out of four powerful positions in Albany are held by AAs (state assembly and senate leaders, and now the AG). That leaves Cuomo as the only "white man" in the room. Thus you can really seriously forget any sort of major efforts at cracking down on crimes, farebeating or whatever that "harms" minorities for the foreseeable future.
Things will go along this way as they always do; that is until something major happens that sparks enough outrage that elected officials in Albany and or NYC/local governments worry themselves about being re-elected and or the democratic party losing seats. Then, and only then will you see some action.
I was in asia for a month long vacation and I never saw shenanigans like this.
subways and buses were packed in tokyo and hk, but everything was orderly, no fare evasion.
i don't get it.
Certain European countries people follow the rules and pay because there are hefty fines if you don't. Like in Germany. But it's still an honor system.
I went to Paris as a teenager and the sidewalks were covered in dog poop
I adapted the habit of walking while looking down ever since
Plus at certain times, the streets smelled like BO, I thought I forgot to put on deodorant before I left the hotel, but I didn't
Paris is a completely different animal, leave Paris outta this one....especially look at whats happened there recently, leave them outta this
NYC honestly has not gotten that bad yet
All these problems can be corrected
The problem is people just want to make as much money as they can
There's a right way to do everything.
NYC has not gotten bad yet which I agree with. Bad is subjective From persons to person, collective group to collective group, society to society. However NYC has alot of work to do and room for improvement is always good for all people.
I heard, many months ago that the fine for SBS fare beating was $128. Is that current?
Im not too sure but i know damn well the fare beating for the regular bus was $100 after finding myself with one
