fare evasion

MTA CEO Janno Lieber says the crackdown is meant to create a sense of safety on city subways.

"If I can help...and I see someone standing there, before they can even ask me, I’ll ask, ‘You need a swipe?’" one woman said.

In a memo sent to bus operators, the MTA notes the center and rear doors on buses should no longer automatically open when the bus stops.

The MTA is creating a "blue-ribbon" panel to examine ways to reduce fare and toll evasion

"The NYPD is once again undermining their own integrity by showing that they cannot meet basic accountability and transparency requirements."

The J31 protests were held in reaction to overpolicing in the transit system.

The MTA budget directors said the agency expects to save $50 million a year in preventing fare evasion.

'What we're seeing is this additional 500 cops that Cuomo has authorized are waging a war on poor people of color.'

The influx of MTA police won't be subject to the same requirements as NYPD transit officers.

The 500 new cops that are set to flood the subways should be 'fully empowered' to make arrests, says Pat Foye.
