speaking of the metro, and the most vulnerable, forget the fare cheaters, they're mostly poor, let 'em ride free (it's currently a few percent of the 23% covered by farebox, and therefore less than 1% of the total cost) and get the buses MOVING... you could get so much more efficiency, and therefore ridership if you didn't have every jerk and his brother fumbling for the money (sometimes purposely, sometimes just out of ignorance or laziness).
