Recently I saw one kid pay at a station in Crown Heights and then walks to the back entrance and just lets through about 20 of his other friends. I found out that one day one person pays and the other 20 just go through the back gate. The next day its someone else. Best part was that the police were in the station and didn’t even know. Well everytime they increase the fare the is a rise in fare beating.
