The MTA wants a psychologist to help them stop fare evasion.
Hi. I'm a psychologist. I recommend addressing the root cause (e.g. PEOPLE CAN'T AFFORD IT). Reducing the cost will likely help. I know that costs money, so here are a few places to consider getting it..

Is there good evidence that "people can't afford it" is the primary problem?

In my area they sometimes stick cops on the bus to stop fare evasion. Like it's a totally good use of tax money for a $2 fare.

Hi. I'm a political scientist who studies cities and local funding. I recommend making all public transit free or nearly free because it will pay for itself with offsets in costs for things like infrastructure, traffic control, and the environment

Hey I can pay for all those fares for a year in like a month by getting to follow city buses and assess a fine to every driver parked, or double park in the bus route . Heck, just start ticketing NYPD for parking and license plate violations.

Let’s see, if the useless fucking police would stop murdering people the city would have a ton of cash and make transit free for everyone.

I was wondering about the price in comparison to Chicago. The one time fare only a few cents more expensive—but the MTA charges double for a 30 day pass?! What kind of math are they doing? And what’s with express being more expensive? Hell, I wouldn’t pay either.

This seems like one place where you could reallocate funding and be much more effective...

Idea: psychologist solves fare evasion by mailing/handing out 100ks of prepaid fare cards in exchange for "research" participation, which involves no observation or measurement -- just going on their way.
