Jumping them metaphorically, that is–you’re still free to hop around if you

Jumping them metaphorically, that is–you’re still free to hop around if you pay your fare. Yesterday, Sound Transit settled on $124 as the standard fine for not paying your light rail fair. It’s less than they said it would be ($150) when we talked to ST spokesperson Bruce Gray back in March. But that post is worth revisiting if you’re curious about why the agency decided not to go with turnstiles, who else is making the same decision, and how much various transit authorities are fining their honor-code violators.
