One of the only upsides of "Criminal justice reform" in NY. Paying subway fares is a performative spectacle for those who choose to participate.

- GekkePrutser 4y agoIsn't that everywhere? In Barcelona I often see people jumping the turnstiles, or tailgating. People sometimes even get angry when I stop walking to prevent them from tailgating me. As if it's a right. Meanwhile the staff just sit in their booth while twiddling their fingers. Due to this laissez-faire attitude the whole subway system is infested with criminals. Pickpockets operate out in the open. One time I got pickpocketed I searched the bins and I found 10 discarded ID cards and driving licenses etc. But I've never seen a subway system that wasn't like this. In Singapore perhaps with their $1000 littering fines.
