    Nothing like spending all kinds of money for enforcement rathet than just making sure your systems work correctly, also why harrass people over a few dollars bus fare? The NYPD is such a corrupt fascist organization.

      This right here. They would probably save a ton of money by just making it free for everyone and if needed adding a small tax somewhere. I’d bet that an extra 0.25% on vehicle registrations to fund it would barely be noticed and would probably cover most of it.

      I have no idea what the cost is for the cops going after fare jumpers but that would also cover some of it and free the cops up for more important things, like having an extra donut.
