If you live in a city where a significant/most people don't pay for buses/streetcars, do the socialists tend to pay or not pay? (hexbear.net)

I'm mostly just curious, I will not change my paying habits regardless

They're pretty aggressive about getting you to pay here, even though almost 90% of the service is paid by taxes. Lots of stations have turnstiles with security guards at them, and ticket inspections are pretty regular. Bus drivers will yell at you a bunch and not move the bus if you just walk on (even during last month when the service was free).

So I assume most socialists pay.
