People Cheating and Riding the Subway for Free?

Article: We have a subway/light-rail line in LA; some of you may even have ridden on it. One problem with it is that at some stations, it is easy to get on the train without paying. At some stations, there are no turnstiles or gates; it is easy to enter without paying. It relies almost entirely on the honor system now. This could mean a loss of hundreds of thousands of dollars a month in lost revenue to the city. Another problem is that there is free transfers between rail-link systems, meaning that the city has to keep turnstiles unlocked to accommodate the transfers. The majority of stations won't lock their turnstiles because the stations are too small to accommodate turnstiles or they would sit too close to tracks. Metro contracts with the police department for security and to inspect for fares. But adding gates will cost $3.1 million, which would be made up in 7 years.

Discussion:

• Have you ever been on a subway? If so, how do you pay? How do you get on the train? 
• What does honor code mean? How does that apply in this article? How does it work at school? 
• Why are the biggest problems facing LA in this article?
