On Thursday, a group of police officers and transit workers targeted a woman for fare evasion on a crosstown bus, highlighting the city's expanded enforcement efforts.
This enforcement follows reports showing that fare evasion on buses is more common, with transit authorities losing over $300 million last year alone to such violations.
Interim NYC Transit President Demetrius Crichlow noted, 'A lot of our customers have been saying, you know, Why am I paying a fare and others aren’t?'}
The Metropolitan Transportation Authority has announced permanent teams deploying throughout New York’s bus system to counter fare evaders, as highlighted by the incident on Thursday.
