Green Line riders notice more fare enforcement. But they're still not paying.
In October 2024, the MBTA launched a bold initiative: Convince riders who have been getting free rides on the Green Line to start paying up. The transit system deployed teams of “fare engagement representatives” across train lines in an effort to recoup some of the $25 to $30 million it loses every year to fare evasion. At underground stations with fare gates, the task was simple: Keep an eye out for passengers who hop gates or sneak in after other riders who already paid.

PORTSMOUTH, R.I. — I live 399 steps from the railroad tracks that carry Sunday brunch, afternoon tea, and dinner with a show patrons up and down Aquidneck Island’s west side. I regularly hear the locomotive from my living room and infrequently wait with the dogs for the train to pass, but I’ve never caught a ride, because the train doesn’t go anywhere.
