The cops here are annoying. They might check your ticket, they might not. I’m not sure what they’re being paid for because if they’re just standing there on their phone, their salary would cover dozens of people’s tickets.

Regardless, I tend to pay for mine because I have no idea when they check. I’d probably pay for it even if they didn’t check because my naive self wants to believe that money is going to the transportation agency and not the military. It probably is, but it’s not going to workers.

Usually you can negotiate a discount/free pass with some workplaces, so I would do that if I can.
