I'm watching the fare evasion because I know you are going to ask me about it. Proud to say that in one year since we started making this a top priority since past last year, ferry Fare evasion is down from nearly 14% of rides on the subway last year to about 9% now. 9% is still too high, but it's better than the 14% which is actually down from the year before. So again, trending in the right direction. (07:59–08:14)

CLAIM

Asserts reduction in fare evasion from 14% to 9%.
