But neither user that swaps is attempting to evade payment of a fare - they are both paying fares at the end of their trip.

Of course, a judge would probably laugh at you and find you guilty in 15 seconds with a "logical" argument like that.

They are attempting to evade (part of) the fare for the trip they are actually taking.

Person A is evading paying one fare and paying a seperate one which they were never asked to pay.
