I don't accept that it's an analogous situation, but many people have no problem with fare dodging. Public transport is for the public good and if someone can't afford the fare, dodging it the moral option.

Luxembourg has taken this to the logical moral conclusion: public transport is actually free at the point of use, as the name suggests. Several cities in Europe have also introduced free public transport.
