The employees don’t get paid less if some jumps the turnstile, the fuel cost to carry a single person is completely trivial, and I didn’t say nobody should care about turnstile jumpers. I said its not stealing. If you damage the tracks and cause the train to derail you’re a monster, and there are financial costs, but you still didn’t steal the train. Your argument doesn’t make any sense.
No, they’re just stealing the fuel and wages the employees should be getting for maintaining the train.

“Trivial” is not “zero”.
Maybe, but it’s also closer to the price saved on less wear and tear on the turnstile than it is the price of the ticket.
Ok, then make the trains a public service, collect taxes for it and make puplic transport free.
Analogous to the whole “piracy” discourse: Manage more media like libraries.
That would be a great idea, and could even help combat climate change.
