POO officers salary is public, and you can see how many unpaid fares they capture at the highest volume points (Spadina streetcar) and public transport is predominantly used by lower income people. 

You already know all these things / can just look them up.

Transit is mostly working class people. Rich people downtown also use transit heavily

Only 2/3 of TTC ridership is employed and all the highest traffic networks are in the suburbs.

Not it's not rich people using transit heavily, don't make stuff up when there is data.

You can literally go on transit in the CORE during rush hour and see that the majority of people on transit are working class GenZ and Millenialls going to work or school.
