POLL: Should the T Crack Down on Fare Evaders?

The Herald reports that plainclothes cops are being used to nab "piggybackers."

The Boston Herald reports today the MBTA police are cracking down on fare evaders.

Plainclothes and uniformed police are being sent to stations around the MBTA's subway system to issue citations for violators, the Herald reports, and trolley and bus operators are being instructed to keep their rear doors sealed during boarding.

So far this year, issued citations are up over 80 percent, the Herald said.
