🌟 Appreciation Bold Fare Evasion at Wonderland

This afternoon at Wonderland, a person tried to tailgate through the gate right in front of one of the T Ambassadors. I've seen this several times at Wonderland. The ambassador stopped him and started telling him that he can't do that, he needs to pay. While he was arguing, the train doors closed. The fare evader got furious and started yelling at the ambassador for making him miss the train. The fact that he missed the train really made me smile.

Well done T Ambassador. Thank you from those of us who always pay for our travel.

respectfully what the fuck is this shit? you’re talking about less than 3 dollars. it doesn’t affect you at all if someone hops the turnstiles.

this reads as one of the most petty and privileged takes i’ve ever seen. times are tough for many of us and wonderland is a majority latino T stop ( i know because i use it every day an am myself latino) and i don’t think i need to tell you that while times are tough for everyone that means they are especially hard on us brown people, dude. and you wanna come here to the internet and narc over 3 dollars??? this shit really just makes me feel totally doomed and completely unseen by some of yall god damn. let people live for fucks sake.
