This morning during my commute to work, I was sitting in the seat opposite a guy who didn't have a pass, ticket or any other fare for the train. I'd never really asked about (or considered) what happens under those circumstances when it's found out by one of the transit cops, but could hear it in some detail, as close as I was.
So, in Denver's system (RTD), it's an $80-odd fine after the first offense, $100-odd outside the city and county of Denver. I find myself wondering how often it happens that the transit cops run across someone without a fare...
Interestingly, they don't boot the offender off the train.
