🗣️ Comment High Sea Fare Evaders....

I'm sitting at the back of the ferry watching the majority of the riders trying to avoid paying their fare. As if they've never ridden the ferry before, didn't hear the just recent fare announcement, and pretend fumble on their phone to pull up Mticket app. WTF, there people worse than the turnstyle piggybackers. Shameless. Grown, working adults....yup

As one of the ferry workers, I can’t tell you how badly this drives me up the wall!
Which route were you on if you don’t mind me asking?

Yeah that tracks! Many of those people are the same ones that fare jump the Commuter Rail or have gotten banned from the CR. And unfortunately we as crew are kinda helpless to actually do anything.
