Transit conductor assaults are an epidemic, as is farebeating, panhandling, etc. This can make transit unpleasant. Which is why I like proof-of-payment: while checking fares, cops can also walk the vehicle to police bad behavior.

Should we treat parking scofflaws the same way we treat transit scofflaws? Lost parking revenue exceeds lost transit revenue so why the lenient treatment for drivers? Why not arrest them too.
