I think it's ridiculous, and frankly irresponsible, that the city is still using the honor system. The lost revenue must be staggering when you think about it going back 30 years. Who knows how many new trains, buses, or miles of track they've thrown out the window because of it.
Time to step in to the 20th century and institute a proper metro card system (no stupid coins or tokens please) where you pay to play, and can do it conveniently. I think this is much more important then any park and ride fee.
