Fare evasion or fare dodging[1] is the act of travel without payment on public transit. When considered problematic, it is mitigated by revenue protection officers and ticket barriers, staffed or automatic, are in place to ensure only those with valid tickets may access the transport. The term fare avoidance is sometimes used as a euphemistic synonym[2] and sometimes used to refer to the lawful use of much cheaper tickets.
