§ 165.16 Unauthorized sale of certain transportation
					 services.
1. A person is guilty of
				  unauthorized sale of certain transportation services when, with intent to avoid
				  payment by another person to the metropolitan transportation authority, New
				  York city transit authority or a subsidiary or affiliate of either such
				  authority of the lawful charge for transportation services on a railroad,
				  subway, bus or mass transit service operated by either such authority or a
				  subsidiary or affiliate thereof, he or she, in exchange for value, sells access
				  to such transportation services to such person, without authorization, through
				  the use of an unlimited farecard or doctored farecard. This section shall apply
				  only to such sales that occur in a transportation facility, as such term is
				  defined in subdivision two of section 240.00 of this chapter, operated by such
				  metropolitan transportation authority, New York city transit authority or
				  subsidiary or affiliate of such authority, when public notice of the
				  prohibitions of its section and the exemptions thereto appears on the face of
				  the farecard or is conspicuously posted in transportation facilities operated
				  by such Metropolitan Transportation Authority, New York City Transit Authority
				  or such subsidiary or affiliate of such authority.
2. It shall be a defense to a prosecution
				  under this section that a person, firm, partnership, corporation, or
				  association:
(a) selling a farecard
				  containing value, other than a doctored farecard, relinquished all rights and
				  privileges thereto upon consummation of the sale; or
(b) sold access to transportation services
				  through the use of a farecard, other than a doctored farecard, when such sale
				  was made at the request of the purchaser as an accommodation to the purchaser
				  at a time when a farecard was not immediately available to the purchaser,
				  provided, however, that the seller lawfully acquired the farecard and did not,
				  by means of an unlawful act, contribute to the circumstances that caused the
				  purchaser to make such request.
