Yeah that’s already factored in as savings and thus deducted from the costs:
The cost of eliminating fares from all city buses would likely be north of $700 million – an MTA analysis from 2022 put the cost for fiscal year 2026 at $778 million, Mamdani’s campaign said. A separate analysis on free local bus service from the city Independent Budget Office incorporated savings that fare-free bus rides would produce, including on fare enforcement and collection costs, totaling $33 million per year. They found the total cost would be $652 million.
I already deducted an extra $52 million for a good-looking number. Whatever the independent analysis didn’t think of is not likely to go beyond this $52 million.
If you don’t include them then the cost is gonna be higher than $600 million. My point that it won’t pay for itself and has to suck up funds that could’ve been used for infrastructure remains.
Regressive taxes are far, far more cost efficient than means testing. And like I said, the costs saved by eliminating fare are already factored in. They’re $33 million per year, and I added an extra $52 million on top of that for good measure.
Enforcement costs includes pay systems, enfircer paychecks, gear, blood, and lawsuits for the victims

I dont think its polite to include the settlements of cases of police abuse. Or monetizing the dead.

Oh. Yes. Means testing us not cost efficient.
What is the point you’re trying to make here?
Also, what does this have to do with means testing?
Thats what charging money for tax funded tra!sit amounts to. It’s usually an anti homeless measure.
