LA Metro’s new faregates only cut evasion by 36%

"Metro has spent months touting the effectiveness of the paddle gates, pointing to an impressive-sounding 480% revenue increase at one station. But what conspicuously hasn’t been made public is the fare evasion rate before and after installation — that is, until we record requested the fare data and calculated it ourselves. Our calculations show a roughly 36% reduction in fare evasion rates at upgraded stations. We believe it’s still enough to justify installation, but nowhere near enough to substitute for officer-based enforcement."

Edit: Wanted to pick a more representative excerpt from the article.

Solutions to Safety Issue in LA Metro: Enforcing the Fares

LA metro has become unsafe because since covid fare enforcement essentially ended since Covid. The system has become basically an expensive, mobile homeless shelter.

This organization believes that fare enforcement is the solution.

  1. Fare enforcement ensures that people taking the Metro only take it to get to places. This helps keep the system serve its original purpose as critical infrastructure for working class people.
  2. Fare enforcement leads to individualized attention to each passenger, helping bring unwell individuals on the system to the help they need, keeping the system safer overall.
  3. Fare enforcement pays for itself. It will help raise fare box revenue and show politicians that the system is worth paying for.

We have stats that back each of these up. see enforcethefares.org

Disagree? I will gladly discuss each point in detail.
