Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.

Our Rules:

  1. Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.

  2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.

  3. Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.

  4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

  5. No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.

Can anyone explain to me what the consequence is for fare jumping if they don’t do this?

Number one reason is that it pisses people off as it is unfair

Humans, like monkeys, are allergic to unfairness and more people will just jump because they also want free shit

These policing efforts are just there to keep the number of free riders to the expected parameter and placate the paying users

Capturing back lost fares is inconsequential

Public transit should be free.

I agree with the sentiment, but until it is free, it is unfair to not police fair jumpers

As a fare jumper, I completely agree.
