NYC spends more on cops to deal with fare evasion than they'd lose to fare evasion in years. It's not about the money.

most people jump because no one really cares, you'll see mta employees not giving a damn, and half the time the cops won't do anything either
in aus they fine you a couple hundred dollars if they catcxh you without a ticket. they should at least do that much.

Everyone is making the obvious point that <$3 is not worth death but as if the guy expected to literally DIE vaulting over a 4ft barrier.

As if any of you thought you would meet your end jumping over something less than waist height.

Freak accident.

don't think they've been shot but they've been mobbed by the 12+ cops that are costing the city 1000x times what fare-skippers are costing it

Because petty criminal activity like that isn't isolated and if a few people get away with it it often causes a lot more to become emboldened to do the same and it ends up costing tens if not hundreds of thousands in the long run. Not liking criminals doing crime and not feeling awful when they do something bad and hurt themselves doesn't make me a sociopath. Also "EmbraceOfDeath" really complaining about something said about this? Ridiculous.

Question. How much money in actual terms would you say a fatal neck snapping is worth? Feel free to round up to the nearest hundred.

Isn't it less if you prepay?
What do you mean by prepay? A monthly Metrocard (Which has unlimited rides for 30 days but you can only use once every 10 minutes IIRC) costs $127. You have to use public transportation a lot to make that worth it.

Maybe the people in charge of this country should do literally anything to address poverty and wealth inequality (the things that lead to a person participating in behaviors like attempting to avoid a $2.75 charge) instead of funneling money directly to the top

I was thinking it was similar to SunPass where you can put money on a card and it costs less than simply paying the fare out of pocket each time

Something that bugs me is that youll hear people cry that we need better public transit, yet they have jobs and no kids and choose to jump the turnstiles. Thats clown behavior.

Sad for this guy tho :( no one deserves to die like that such a freak accident. Not gonna watch that video tho

That's EZPass for NY and the NE area but that's to pay tolls and bridges and you don't need to prepay EZPass. As long as you have it it costs you less, but the tolls in NYC are still stupid expensive.

I've never had to go through one of those things, so I don't know how much they charge. Did this man die trying to avoid a few bucks cost?

The big question is was he avoiding paying or was he broke and just needed a ride

They should, but since they aren't that doesn't mean we all need to resort to being criminals.

The other issue with the MTA is they made so much money due to the sheer amount of people taking the subway every day before the pandemic but they kept increasing the fare and service has gotten worse than ever. I remember in the late 90s/early 00s when they started increasing the fare their excuse one year was their funding "mysteriously vanished."

i don't understand some of the comments here saying "was it worth losing your life for 3 dollars?" as if hopping over the turnstile has a reasonable chance of death or something >_> this was a complete freak accident and nothing more. this is like someone buying/eating a dollar pizza and choking to death on it and having people say "was it worth losing your life getting the dollar pizza? should have gone with the more expensive option instead" like it makes 0 sense
