If they are going to ride the train all night passes out they better at least pay for it, otherwise they have zero right to be in any of the stations or the trains themselves.

Discussion with Calgary transit officials (and transit protection officers) reveals that most of the "tweekers" have a valid ticket (a fare evasion ticket can apparently lead to police warrants)
Thus we could spend millions creating /retro fitting fare barriers but probably won't actually induce much change on the situation.
