Let's be clear. The fare in this city for public transportation is $2. Alternatively, you can purchase and use an unlimited Metrocard.

If you do not pay the fare (or don't use the unlimited) prior to using public transportation, you are breaking the law.

When caught, that's tough. Nobody really cares how much you whine about how unfair you were treated. Nobody cares that "Well, everybody else is doing that!" That argument didn't work back in the sixth grade, and it doesn't work now.

There are some times when it makes sense to break the law. We can all think of various examples. But... 1. When you have the ability to pay your fare and don't, that doesn't make sense and 2. Whether or not you had a good reason for breaking the law, nobody wants to hear you whining when you get caught. That's seriously annoying.

So, in short - either pay your damn fare or shut up about it.

Thank you.
