I have a suggestion for your next female guest: Dorothy Moses Schulz. Manhattan Institute. She just wrote an article at City Journal about fare jumping on subway systems.

"Some cities have replaced police officers and fare-compliance officers with outreach workers and fare ambassadors. Refusing to enforce the law on the transit system is a recipe for declining fare revenue, increasing fare evasion, and skyrocketing crime."

Fare ambassadors?

And: "Both Lieber and Mayor Eric Adams have observed that a small number of evaders are stopped and even fewer are issued summonses—in no small part because the Manhattan and Brooklyn district attorneys refuse to prosecute these cases."
