I personally don't think that the few abusers outweigh the impact that has on the people who truly need this service. People with disability or those with severe vision problems already have enough trouble finding gainful employment. Now, since many are unable or are not permitted to drive, have to spend $800+ a year for transit to and from their limited jobs. I understand that we want a transit system that can support its operation costs and possible expansion but I am not sure if this is the way to do it.

A blanket tactic like this is another lost chance for some civic innovation or at least some compassion. There must be a system that could be put in place that could crack down on abuse but still serve those who need and use transit in order to be productive members of our community. But like so many in so many other areas there is no will. It's easier to cut than to work.
