I take transit to and from work each day ... I get checked on average once per month. Twice in the last 3 days actually. Anytime I've been part of a sweep there are only a couple of people that seem to get caught which leads me to believe that pepper's stat of transit payers = 97% to be true. I obviously have no concrete evidence besides that, but it seems about right.
The free fare zone rarely has any impact on me as I travel from south to north and north to south each day. If it helps bring in some funds to improve the NE leg and make it safer I'm all for it. My wife travels that way and it can get a little dicey after dusk.
