Shadow justice secretary Robert Jenrick has released a viral video confronting fare evaders on the London Underground, hoping to shaming people into paying their fares. He argues that fare dodging and related issues are problematic for society and acknowledges past austerity mistakes by his party. Transport for London (TfL) affirms that fare evasion is unacceptable and is planning to increase its investigative team. Jenrick's video has had over 3.5 million views, reflecting widespread concern over fare enforcement and city governance under Sadiq Khan.
Jenrick said activities such as fare dodging, graffiti, and playing music on public transport were 'chipping away at society'.
TfL said fare evasion was 'unacceptable' and that it was expanding its team of investigators to 'target the most prolific fare evaders'.
Jenrick stated he was 'sick to death of people fare dodging' and felt the need to 'highlight the issue'.
He mentioned, 'It makes most people feel silly, feel foolish. Why are they paying for their fares on the Tube when others aren't?'
Jenrick criticized Sadiq Khan, saying 'Lawbreaking is out of control. He's not acting. So, I did.'
