I agree with the moral arguement and that's why I pay everyday. My point was there's economic incentive to avoid paying and increased fees will also increase this avoidance.

I read in the paper that Calgary Transit estimates that something like 97% (I believe that was the number) pay transit fares. I am guessing they base this on random ticket checks by transit cops but they didn't exactly say how.
