Yes, no question we are policing transit riders far more heavily than say drivers.  This is and always was unacceptable but we did it anyway.

I can guarantee you that they're counting them as 'ridership'.

And if they are, it's not different than when Jeffrey Loria owned the Marlins and purchased thousands of tickets to propel their dismal attendance from being the worst (which therefore made it better than Montreal).
