what is jumping a turnstile
Fare evasion and fare fraud is generally a crime in most jurisdictions. The fare not paid, compared to potential penalties and hassle, is generally considered ânot worth itâ. One method of fare evasion is jumping over the turnstiles which mark the entryway into a subway system; hence the term, âturnstile jumpingâ. Other methods include adults traveling on childrenâs tickets, or using discounted tickets or free passes that the passenger is not entitled to.
