## Caption

Invoices issued to LIRR customers who didn't pay their fares fell by more than half last year, continuing a decline since 2024 when the railroad began ejecting nonpayers without valid identification.

The LIRR still only recovered a small portion of the nearly $900,000 in unpaid fares it was owed. In addition, some riders say conductors often don't issue invoices or call MTA police to get involved.

The MTA in 2023 estimated it loses about $900 million annually in fare evasion. It has instituted a host of rules to cut down on the problem, including checking tickets at some stops before boarding and instituting an $8 penalty for late ticket activation.
