This whole post is dumb as hell. If $100,000 is all the money they collected, in a year, in NYC, that tells me the cops are ignoring the issue. If the city was collecting millions and millions, then it would be an ACAB story.
I'm reading the penalty is typically $100, let's roll with that. Reading they system just passed 1-billion riders for the first time in 2022. (Wow.)
$104,000/$100=1,040 people busted (assuming once charge each). 1040/1B= 0.00000104 of the total riders incurred a ticket.
Not seeing the percent of those riders that were jumpers, but it's going to be a few orders of magnitude larger than 0.00000104. LOL, the street cops are utterly ignoring this thing.
You didn't read it right, the amount of missing fare is $100k from people not paying, not that the subway system only makes $100k in total.
