# Eyeing upgrades happening at other transit systems around the country, Sound Transit CEO Dow Constantine is set to propose further analysis of implementing fare gates at stations. The agency hopes to increase fare compliance on Link light rail, shoring up a revenue source.
I personally believe that the prospect of getting hassled and ticketed by fare enforcement staff is a legitimate reason we don’t see more people on the trains who are visibly suffering from addiction and homelessness.
i also stopped riding once they ramped up the fare enforcement. i’m not homeless or addicted, i just don’t enjoy confrontation and fare enforcement (regardless if you paid or not) is an extremely confrontational interaction.
