This, along with the length of time it takes to get out of the city stations
because of the barriers, are the two things I detest most about MetCrud.

It will be incredibly perverse to see people being charged for fare evasion
when they have paid their $X amount of dollars for a ticket, validated it
the first time, but haven't put it in a validator again.

Validating on every journey is _ridiculous_, and I cannot see the general
public doing it unless there is someone watching them as they board.
