Hmmm ... but the point is, people *shouldn't* have to dress neatly to
be able to travel freely on public transport. The MetCops _should_
be polite to _everyone_ they deal with, even if it is blatantly obvious
that they are fair-evading, putting feet on seats, etc.
Frankly, I don't want to wear a suit merely because railway stations are
patrolled by mindless authoritarian figures with an inferiority complex
and a heightened sense of dress standards.

Just wait until the MetCard can trace you right back to your front door ...
