 I understand that you may be in a situation where you don't have the fare to ride the subway, and you may be considering jumping the turnstile as a way to avoid paying. However, I must inform you that jumping the turnstile is illegal and can result in serious consequences, including fines and even criminal charges.
It's important to remember that the subway system is designed to be fair and equitable for all users, and jumping the turnstile can disrupt this balance. By paying your fare, you are contributing to the maintenance and upkeep of the subway system, which is essential for the smooth operation of the city's transportation network.
If you are having difficulty affording the fare, there are other options available to you. Many cities offer discounted fares for low-income individuals, students, or seniors. You can also consider purchasing a monthly pass, which can be more cost-effective in the long run.
In summary, while I understand that jumping the turnstile may seem like an easy solution, it is not a legal or ethical option. I strongly advise you to explore other fare payment options or to seek assistance from local transportation authorities if you are experiencing financial difficulties.
