>Presumably, in such a case, the transit police might be watching for that person And how might these hypothetical "transit police" do so, at least in New York City? There are 472 active subway stations spread across 36 subway lines and the trains run 24/7[0], carrying ~5,000,000 passengers per average weekday[1]. And since you can buy access tickets with cash or just evade the fare[2]. So, no. such a ban can't practically be enforced, but as I mentioned, it hasn't stopped some folks from trying...and failing.
