That’s the thing with fraud. The goal is never to stop it all, but to keep it at some local minimum. The rest is just the cost of doing business.
There are only turnstiles that can be jumped at the entrances that are manned by an attendant 24/7.
Haven't seen it in a few weeks though. It's expensive to be posting two cops near every turnstile entrance.
On that note: the city actually spends more on the NYPD for fare evasion than they could possibly recover from it[1]. I'd rather the city just give every teenager a free card instead, and spend the savings on a tipline for complaints about NYPD officers on their phones[2].

They were chasing and catching literally everyone. Well, the cops at the turnstile would radio the cops on the platform if they ran.
The people caught were really pissed about it too. Lotta loud arguing every time I went into the subway since they were catching people constantly. Granted I live in a neighborhood where people jump the turnstiles a lot.
Yeah, no shit. Fraud is YOUR problem. Not mine.
Similar scenario: chicken in the grocery store that advertises itself as "antibiotic and hormone free". No chicken in the grocery store has added antibiotics or hormones; it's illegal.
A-F have to all apply.
Visa, Mastercard, Amex, and Discover all additionally enforce $0 credit card liability on the banks that use their networks.
You'll only see the $50 thing on debit cards, and every bank I've used has waived that to give credit card-style protection.
On debit cards, the statutory limit is actually significantly higher ($500) if you don't report the fraud within two business days, and unlimited after 60 days, but as you say, I don't know of any bank that actually makes use of that provision.
