Every Fare Counts

- Payment is required to ride subways, buses, and trains, as well as to cross bridges and tunnels. Fares and tolls pay for our employees and are critical to keep service running. Find out what we are doing to combat fare and toll evasion.
Ah yes, the NYPD that is within eye sight of an emergency exit doing nothing when people fare evade through it.

No but why are you cooking rn
Doesn't help to arrest them, DA let them go anyway
You can’t have a cop at every stop. there’s only so many in certain boroughs, and if they can’t always be there during fare evasions, even with reduced fare, it can happen more 😂
Maybe actually enforce your policies then?? Instead of having cops staring at their phones at the stations
Exactly, after arrested, then released without bail, or got ticket , then what? The point is the judge system, Democrats DA gotta go
Blame the woke politicians who handcuff police to do their jobs
that wont work.
The cops have their hands tied by the ShitLiberal "justice" system.
I used to tap people in so the MTA got paid and the users saw that the money has to come from somewhere. Problem is, you guys have set up a max of three taps before OMNY freezes. Last week I tapped some people in (paying each of their fares) and then OMNY locked up. I actually had to ask someone to let ME in (yes, I’d previously paid my own fare). So like, what the heck should we do then?
Because since the Metrocard's 1990 magnetic strip tech only allowed for 4, they decided to keep it for OMNY even though it isn't a limitation anymore.
its called fare capping! the system doesn't let u pay for someone else that way you don't have to pay for more than a few trips per day. also, stop paying for other ppl, its not ur responsibility and doesn't help them if they get caught anyway
@@thegreypenguin5097Youre automatically assuming people just randomly swipe for others. I guarantee its either a friend theyre swiping, or their child.
Fares don't pay employees salaries. Employee pay comes from the state operating and capital budget (G.O's). Stop having the public attack us. Tired of them blaming us for not paying thier fares.
If the tolls pay for the employees then why did you get rid of the toll booth collectors?
Yo MTA, you always make me late for work. should you reimburse my money? In avg, each year. you make me lost $600-800 in lateness plus a lot a lot of couching from my supervisor. SMFH....
Leave your house earlier if this is the case.
Hey there & Welcome to the Subway please pay the fare is required for entry it helps run the service & holding this door 🚪 open creates opportunities for fare evasion will cost you violators are subject to arrest or fine of $100 for non-payment get in trouble for that.
Fair fares must increase max income. Rent eats most wages and I eat nothing or less.
You guys increase the fare amount...
because people keep hopping, meaning they need more money to make up for it
But then raising it just encourages on the fence riders to skip the fare more. 2.90 is a lot right now for a train fare. You either gotta make damn well good use of that ride or save the swipe and walk. Only other option is wait for someone to hold the emergency door open, which ive noticed become more common courtesy in recent months
@@nero0168 $2.90 is a lot ? What should the fare be?
Why do you think the fare goes up? Maybe it's to make up for the loss of revenue from the loser freeloaders who think they are so entitled that they don't have to pay???🤔🤔
@@nero0168They should bring the prices back to $1.50, problem solved but the MTA seems like it wants to be a Mr. Krabs company and next thing you know the subway price is gonna be like $8
On Rail road they can only arrest you. If you assault Train Conductor, or under the influence of Drugs and creating troubles.
Paying the fare is important. Just enforce it more plz.
just use those big roundabout turnstiles
Next MTA move is going to be a assigning personal police officer from the island to every New Yorker.
The fare is fair.
You live in NYC, a city where cars and traffic are everywhere. All of that can cost you hours of your life you could never get back.
Or, you could use the public transportation. It's reliable, efficient and convenient. It's also eco friendly as all trains and buses are electric. All of that for just $2.90. That's all the MTA is asking for. Do you want no public transport? Cars are expensive, not usually clean and are slow in traffic.
Not everyone can use public transit.
@@Atrail_Mckinley4786Not everyone can drive
@damianoandreaarrigoni4401 And? Just because you and I can use public transit doesn't mean everyone can. It's not difficult to know that. People who live in transit deserts are more likely to drive, for example, as they don't have reliable or quick ways to get into Manhattan or places outside the city that are not served by public transportation. People who have to make deliveries can not use public transit. Public transit is an alternative way to get around, and I believe that it is a good way to get around, but it isn't accessible to everyone
@@Atrail_Mckinley4786 It may not be perfect, but it's still very good.
@@Atrail_Mckinley4786 Good, I know that, I just didn’t get how your comment was addressing… anything really, and so I just added a bit onto it to make it a little less onesided
I understand you need fares to pay employees, but when your daily ridership is 3-4 million +, plus bridge and tunnel toles, AND your budget is over a billion, you dont need to be INCREASING the fare. I personally pay the fare, but if youre gonna charge $2.90, and your budget is THAT big, please make my ride worth my money, Stations are ghastly and need remodelling, not just the switch of some lights and new benches.
They are increasing the fare because they lost $$ cause of fare evasion
@@slapshot68 they dont lose a considerable amount from fair evasion. their daily profit is in the 20 millions and theyre still increasing fares, but not service
Fares do not pay employees. It goes towards maintenance and upkeep of the transit system smh, MTA is a city, state and federal funded agency
Would like to see more of those old fashioned cage-like gates instead of all those expensive upgrades like new digital signs or police officers/personnel that could spend their time better towards patrolling or catching crooks.
Is not hard to pay the fare they need to put gates like the MBTA And Other Transit system
Another Problem that fare evasion can occur is Problematic Friendships especially people who School or College Age because some friends think that jumping over fare gates and illegally using the emergency Exits are a cool move to take.
more money for you to improve or for your night club bottle services?
To make the subway profitable, fares would need to be increased to $12.
The subway shouldn't be "profitable", it's a public service not a business. Our military, firefighters, and public parks aren't profitable either.
@@77Redwood This is so true!!! The MTA already has a budget higher than anyone can count. In this video they state that they charge Tolls and tunnels, averaging $16, PLUS bus fares, Regional rail, And subway, Its clear that their daily profit ALREADY ranges from $15,000,000 and up. I pay the fare, but if its $2.90 then atleast improve the aging infastructure, and make me feel comfortable in stations!!! 34th street herald square and West 4th are great examples of Modern technology, But a station that looks like its in the dumps. The subway is so interconnected, that the MTA can afford Money and time wise, To shut down a trunk line and completely remodel it within the span of 2 months. They just dont because its big spending, and once again, less profit.
@@PureDevTransitW 4th???? I don't think so buddy, that station is old as hell
@@77Redwood I disagree. Almost all transit in Asia breaks even and most transit in Japan is profitable. The reason Tokyo's subways are profitable is because they are run by multiple agencies/companies who have to compete for ridership/profit. That's why Asian cities have much better transit systems than the rest of the world. It transit was profitable than we could easily expand it without needing to worry about finding taxpayer money from somewhere.
@@willmorris8198 There's only three places on earth where transit is profitable and that is Japan, London, and Hong Kong. They're only profitable because they fit 10-20 million people in such a dense area. It has nothing to do with privatization - both London and Hong Kong are public.
Be mindful to the mta ❤️
In Germany, no stations have fare gates. Instead, customers only need to purchase and hold a valid ticket before riding. Occasionally, station security will perform random security checks on random customers. If they ask a customer to show their ticket and they don’t have a valid one or refuse, they will be arrested and/or charged with fare evasion. So customers can technically get away with fare evasion there but at their own risk, since it’s only if they’re lucky enough to not get randomly selected for random security checks.
NJT light rail the same
Same in Finland
Here’s a tip: MOST people who fare evade can afford the fare, KEY WORD MOST not ALL.
poor service is a big issue.
😢😢😢. Any can stop that.😢
Hahahahhahahahahahahahahahaha! Looks like everyone will learn how to pay their fares when taking the buses, subways, railroads, and even on roads. They don't care so the police and national guard will stop them. : )
How about no
#boycottthemta
womp womp. maybe improve the service & reliability and then we'd pay.
Stop using "womp womp" that Gen Z Tiktok and YT Short comments are re-using. (I mean, it WAS to mean the sad trombone sound effect for comedy) Do you even like trains passing by. I like NYC Subway.
Then walk
@@BakaryRoleplayGaming womp womp
@@Michael-kg4wp 😐Wow at this point some Gen Z and Alpha people are literally slowly taking over random channels on UA-cam in the comments. Everybody else in this video comments are New Yorkers. i also live in NYC. nobody else is saying "womp womp". Thats proof that TikTok or YT Shorts has gotten so bad that now people will go to transit or unrelated channels and say these things bruh!
So it's too broken to pay for, but not broken enough that you won't use it. If it's so bad, then why don't you walk/drive/get a cab?
Look im really sorry but i genuinly cant trust that any reasonable amount of fare money is going to the station workers. Its upsetting how normalized holding the emergancy door has become, it feels like common courtesy. It just makes no sense to activley pay the fare. Maybe on the bus, maybe at the select few policed stations, not everywhere else
Half of the time I ride LIRR the conductors don’t even do their job 😂
This is an everyday thing 🤦♂️
There's murders in the subway and this is what these Greedy people worry about... smh
I’m just here for the comments. The MTA does a very shitty job and has terrible service. I’ve even started walking. It’s better. Congestion pricing won’t help.
and somehow they think congestion pricing will work...
All license plates are recorded with cameras. So anyone who avoids paying will be tracked down by the authorities.
The customer must pay the fare on bus or turnstiles/fare gate on subway. If jump the Turnstiles or fare gate and could be fined or arrest by police. If fare inspector check the customer request MetroCard ticket or omny card.
Blame NYPD for not ticketing people. 💀 All they do is watch them go through the gate and maybe stop 1 or 2.
Seriously, pay the fare.
stop with this propaganda, $17 to drive over a bridge is insane
Woop woop
Nobody can control nyc 😂😂😂
We need martial law in New York atp
The rate of prosecution needs to be as close as possible to 100% for anything to change. I'd recommend adding facial recognition cameras, and creating a database of repeat offenders.
You show us all of this but what are you, the NYPD, the D.A.’s across the city & the NY State Legislature doing to actually arrest & penalize fare beaters? It’s clear y’all aren’t doing enough and it’s hurting the rest of us honest riders & if you don’t get a true handle on this, y’all are gonna cut services and that’s the last thing that we need. Treat this crime like it’s as serious the other crime that happens on the subway. Get cops on these buses like yesterday. The buses are the absolute worst, especially in The Bronx & it’s like the wild Wild West now. Stop talking & start doing!
They need to do something about the homeless people who hold the gate open at Canal St all day and night I never see cops over there stopping them go get a doorman job if you wanna hold doors open 😂
This is result of fare hikes.
We warned you a long time ago.
Enforcement is needed
It’s Not Free Ride.
Mfw I complain about Fare evasion but roll out new turnstiles that are even easier to hop instead of new designs that help deter the issue
Why does fare hikes still seem like a good idea when yet fare evasion is still a growing trend? It just doesn’t make any sense at all.
Who else feels like they're the only one that pays for the subway / bus nowadays? Can't blame some though. We gotta get plagued with homelessness and mango/candy sellers.
RIGHT HERE THEY NEED TO PUT N.Y.P.D. POLICE TRANSIT 🚇🚇 DISTRICT COPS 👮♀️ 👮♂️ 🚔 INSIDE THE SUBWAY TRAIN 🚇🚇 STATION CAB 🚇 CARS NOT AT THE TURNSTYLES WHERE YOU SCAN & $$$ PAY 2.90 CENTS / SOON TO BE 3.00 DOLLARS IN CASH 💸💸💸💰 WITH YOUR OMNY SCANNER CARD PASS.

Let the cops do their jobs…how bout dat?
@DrKO2453
They can't, cause NYC is democratic ruled.
Got us paying 2.90 to get shot, stabbed, killed on your trains and can’t even control the homeless problem. Ride the E at night
@steamymemes7946
The "E" train is the worst subway line ever. Not the only one though.
Go buy a car then.
yeah… the mta should make officers to do the job to make the E and the rest a lot more safer…
Just like how other people are saying the same topic, you should actually make the NYPD enforce paying the fare.
Toll and fare evasion only effects idiots like me that do the right thing. You’ll just raise the fare and all the other people are going to continue covering their license plates and walking past the bus driver on buses not paying like they’re walking into their own room.
You did not improve the train system.
lmao i’m sure those ads are gonna help so much. to be fair if ur raising the fare to 2.90 let ppl make unlimited transfers for 2 hours like other systems
I really don't understand the transfer limitations. Especially in a city as big as New York.
maybe actually have your trains come on time like japan.
maybe pay your fare like they do in japan
How about we talk how much Davey and Janno pick pocket every year for themselves then let's talk about MTA numbers 💯
$2.90 is too expensive. Now you've brought omny which doesn't allow monthly fare. And omny ''free'' rides must be earned. @mta is cruel
Just restore the tokens at 75¢ each.
75 cents in 1980 is equivalent to $2.86 in 2024 dollars.
@@gawi4405 in the govt system
75¢ it must be
Yeah tell that to the people of The Bronx and deep parts of Brooklyn to pay their fair share
And Staten Island, they don't pay either
I observed at 161 street in Bronx on D line nonstop people of all ages and colors entering the system without paying right in front of a Transit district police station several uniformed officers Sargents and a Captain observed as well and walked away , about 20 feet away MTA police and National Guard checking a elderly ladies bag it’s all on the station cameras , why are taxpayers paying all these heavily armed police and why doesn’t the news channels and papers report all this
MTA Police must be getting paid good overtime money to play around working this nonsense detail perfect to push up pensions.
Vote the Governor Out go with a Republican.
Can we see this video in more languages? I e. Español, Portugués, French, Haitian Creole.....
They can use the captions in different languages.
hmmmmm
Try having emergency doors that sound alarm throughout the station like one, around the world? Take some inspiration from the globe
They do have that it’s only at some stations lol
So children has to pay too...???
Im not a New Yorker but people say you are free to ride if you are shorter than a certain height. I think there are student fares as well.
@@HarrisonLuiEKYiss Yeah shorter than 44" so you have to be pretty young to get away with it
@@Michael-ux6bx you also need to be accompanied by a fare-paying adult.
@@HarrisonLuiEKYiss yep
the money that goes to paying nypd to stand around playing candy crush & buying them teslas could subsidize fare for thousands of people
How about some transparency in the MTA budget for once??
No it doesn't because people will do this everyday until drastic measures are taken
Fare evasion has been Happening since the 80s and I saw some news shows talking about improving the security in the system. I think in the 90s, that same things from the 80s happened. Vandalism, tax evasion, crimes, homeless people, and a dirty subway system.
What about assaults in mta property? Yall are doing shit about that
People need the emergency doors and all that stuff if their metro cards or OMNY if they're acting they're horrible.
Cut this congestion pricing now
LMFAOOOOO THE FIRST GUY
Womp womp
then why did you guys increase the price then and you complain why people are not paying the fares you guys are part of the inflation problem
nuh uh
When I rode the subways in the 1970s and 1980s, there was a sign at or near the gate that said these five words: Avoid Arrest. Pay your Fare.
👍👍👍👍
It always pay your fare. Fare isn't for free.
Yes, but NYCT is all politics, it's been that way for years now and that's the problem
MTA should be free.
How is the MTA going to earn money then?
@@NixTheTransportFanner good question. public transportation is not meant to be profitable. some cities have made their local public transit free by subsidies.
Why should I pay my fare if I don’t go to work on time. It’s been 2 or 2.5 years since F train is local. It will take 1.5 hours to reach my home from 42th Street Bryant park to 169 street Hillside Ave. also, carts are dirty, filthy, full with homeless people.
"Homeless people are unhoused people!" - AOC
Maybe if the NYPD actually did their jobs. I’m in favor of people actually paying the fare but it needs to be enforced properly
You just said fares pay salaries so how will you pay for repairs, too?
It’s funny how MTA is afraid to show footage of the ghetto people 😂
All part of a crumbling society.
Remember, fare evasion is stealing a ride.
I love paying overpriced fares for the joke of a police department and worsening conditions.
Man,This is a problem on my ride on the Q47 sometimes,some people use the back door of the bus to enter INSTEAD OF THE FRONT
(the Q47 is a local bus),I hope the MTA can actually fix it,it’s going to be a long way though,as people at 79th street/grand just don’t seem to listen(mostly the students or high schoolers),MTA,keep up the good work and please work on this before the end of this decade…
Also,grant most if not all NYers a pay per ride OMNY for subway/bus use if that doesn’t help.
The Q47 is pitiful. It takes 10 minutes just to trek two blocks across Queens Boulevard. And somehow it happens that two buses arrive at the same time that are both too overcrowded to board.
I gotta agree. Fares are garbage right now and i understand why people cheat it, no judgement on my end but for local buses its awful. People go through the back and just kinda loiter there. Like for some reason the idea of sitting or standing in the back half of the bus doesmt occur to them so they end up piling up by the back door or head near the front, causing the bus to fill up real quick while the back half is still somehow empty or has more room! I hate it!
RIGHT HERE THEY NEED TO PUT N.Y.P.D. POLICE TRANSIT 🚇🚇 DISTRICT COPS 👮♀️ 👮♂️ 🚔 DOWNSTAIRS INSIDE NEAR THE SUBWAY TRAIN 🚇🚇 STATION PLATFORMS NOT AT THE TURNSTYLES WHERE YOU SCAN & $$$ PAY 2.90 CENTS / SOON TO BE 3.00 DOLLARS IN CASH 💸💸💸💰 WITH YOUR OMNY SCANNER CARD PASS.
and they gon keep jumpin higher 👀
