    Well said. They could offer cheaper tickets and invest less in law enforcement involved in this. Less people will be criminalized that way.

      I agree, but it feels weird to say:

      Less people will be criminalized that way.

      It’s the act that’s a crime, not the people.

        Depends on the perspective. Imo it’s structural issues that can be solved if you rework the structure. Most people who don’t pay for their tickets don’t have the money, but would pay if it would be affordable.

        In Germany you could see this happen when they pushed the 9€ ticket where you could travel all of Germany for the month… for 9€.

        It was a huge success and I’m sure many people who didn’t buy tickets before did buy them then, simply because it was affordable, accessible and more chill.
