Title: Investigation into Public Transport Fare Evasion Enforcement

Summary: The purpose of this investigation was to assess whether public transport fare enforcement is fair and equitable. Fare evasion costs the state tens of millions of dollars; the vast majority of public transport users who buy tickets do not want to subsidise the travel of those who don't. Fair enough. We expect to see a system that effectively deters offenders. The evidence however of this investigation is overwhelming: the system is disproportionate and poorly targeted. The current approach has not got the balance right between financial imperative and fairness. It hits the vulnerable and innocently ignorant and fails to focus on recidivist fare evaders. Not only is it unfair, it is costly.
