IME this is largely the stance that the LA Metro buses* take, as long as you’re not causing trouble. A lot of the time I get waved on for the card not reading quick enough (resulting in a free ride), and I’ve literally never seen a driver tell someone to leave because their card won’t scan or they don’t have the money for it.
Which, when you think about it makes sense. The $1.75 or so they’re ‘losing’ from the passenger not paying (the bus will be going that route anyway, regardless of whether they board or not) will be FAR exceeded by the cost of paying a bus driver to sit there with a bus out of commission for however long it takes cops to get there and force someone out, PLUS a literal bus full of now pissed off people who may be missing connections because some bus driver had a stick up his ass. It absolutely doesn’t make sense unless the fare-evader in question is either a chronic problem causer or an immediate threat.
* trains/subways are a different matter, they have cops checking randomly onboard there to fine people
God, I wish Nintendo made the Pokemon games, because then they might actually not be ugly, terribly optimized garbage. Nintendo owns a minority share of The Pokemon Company, which is also owned by Game Freak and a company called Creatures. Each company takes care of different aspects of the franchise. Game Freak still does all the game development, and I wish they wouldn’t because they obviously don’t care about the franchise anymore and haven’t for quite a while.
