Re your first comment I'd like to note that "everyone knows" isn't automatically the same thing as " everyone's doing it". (Though not having read the original comment, I don't know whether he implied the latter too.) I'd like to think that a fair percentage of those who know you can cheat the T don't, either because it goes against their own moral code or because they realize that good public transit is one of the things they value about living in Boston and that it depends on fares being paid.
Obviously he's wrong about "everyone", and I appreciate your point about he word. But now that you know, you could investigate further and find out *how* to cheat the fare. Or you could decide that paying is the right thing to do and not change your behavior. I have a strong hunch which you'll choose.
