  1. It’s not going to catch anyone though, it’s just going to get a better understanding of how many fares are dodged.

  2. Should make the gates / barriers higher and more difficult to open unless the person taps in

  3. Even if they bring in more staff in the stations (lmao), they still aren’t allowed to approach fare dodgers for risk of being attacked. It seems impossible to stop..
    Tougher penalties to deter this could potentially help

  4. Need some Squid Game style mechanics for people who push through a closed barrier.

  5. People just push through them even if they’re closed.

    For 130 million quid a year I’m sure TFL could employ G4S or someone for security.

  6. Maybe they just need to make
    Public Transport affordable again for the average resident.
