I dunno, that seems like a lot to me living in NYC where we have basically none of that and life is fine. We all get on the train and go our ways and peak ridership is millions a day (prepandemic was almost 6 million on the MTA trains alone (not including the LIRR, Metro North, and NJ Transit, and Amtrak)).

I don't think anyone in NYC wants that. Talk about a police presence sheesh.

And yea I just talked about the perception issues, which is why they're cracking down on fare evaders. Basically increasing police presence to make people feel like it's the safe system they've been using for years before the pandemic.

NYC subway is said to be stinky, with homeless people and people dying and such, people throwing fights and stuff...

>And yea I just talked about the perception issues, which is why they're cracking down on fare evaders.

why should that not be a problem when they are running a public utility? oh, did i mention that women just have to carry an empty "card" with no balance and they can "actually freeride" the whole train for as long as they want ?

so only men have to pay for their rides and everyone is happy with the arrangement in delhi so why should they NOT enforce men not paying?
