Shanghai Subway Riders Caught Not Paying Fare

He and his girlfriend both only bought one ticket for the both of them.

From KDS:

113 people caught not paying fare within 2 hours – By Shanghai News

Shanghai news report on "gate jumpers" or people who do not buy tickets or pay for fare when using public transit like metros, subways, or busses.
Subway authority says to gate-jumpers "No", begins special campaign.

A man is caught on camera sneaking through a gate with someone else to avoid paying fare.

Another Chinese man accuses him of "gate jumping."
"Who said? I saw it."
The caught "gate jumper" denies it, claims he bought a ticket.
"I bought the ticket, what are you fussing about?"
He and his girlfriend both only bought one ticket for the both of them.
"Two persons only purchased one ticket."

His girlfriend talks with the subway station attendant.

Comments from KDS:

If they checked at every metro station and every exit, I bet there will at least be over ten thousand a day.

All “hard disk people.” MD, they even get angry when you catch them, ** I do not understand it.

This kind of “wai di ren” should not be allowed to come to Shanghai. Fuck.

Very skilled at “gate-jumping,” looks like he has had a lot of practice.

No sense of shame, typical “hard disk people” characteristic.

Everyone remember these shit faces, see/meet once, beat once.

What is so strange about this? I feel it is very normal, this is their habit, just like us disliking them. [The commenter referred to the “wai di ren” as “它们” which is like referring to them as things, not people.]

LZ‘s speed is so fast…I also just saw it [the news report].
Those “hard disk” was even pretty arrogant…not paying for fare and still such a confident/self-righteous attitude.

There will be people saying Shanghainese are discriminating against “hard disk people.”

Should be shot on the spot.
Not paying fare = deserting the army

City management should be assigned to the metro to catch “hard disks”~!

In Paris, there are special staff who randomly check for tickets within various subway trains or metro stations. Sometimes, they have the police’s help, and the fine is 30 euros for getting caught (an individual metro ticket is 1.4 euros). No money, your ID number is written down and you are given a ticket/citation. No ID, the police will search you, and those who indeed do not have identification and are illegal immigrants are taken back to the police station to await deportation.

It should be 100 RMB fine for being caught once.
If they had to go through a hole on the side but not buy a ticket/fare, I bet “hard disks” would still do it.

How come all those “hard disk” members [of KDS] do not come in [to this topic post]?~

“Wai di ren,” go back to where you came from…

I am a handicapped person and I always honestly buy fare when I use public transit.

Your disability is your leg, “hard disks'” disability are their brains.

When I saw that [the news report], I expected KDS definitely would post about it.
That SB definitely is asking for it.

I demand instituting whipping/caning [like Singapore].

The most disgusting thing is that the gate-jumping “hard disks” are proud of it [successfully “gate jumping”], with their look of arrogance.

I hope they can do this everyday, maintain it, and do a good job managing [this problem].

This “hard disk person’s” dignity is only worth 4 RMB. I strongly request that the mosaic/mask be removed.
