@riddhipatel1025 Hi Cathy. We're sorry -- and we've passed along your views. Little bit more: due to diff stage setup, crowds for B won't be as large as for TS. Thus parking lot, traffic control and security we need aren't being offered to us. We're disappointed too.

We're NOT mass ticketing/arresting. We're checking if fare was paid when riders entered the system. We're telling riders they could be cited if they didn't pay fare. This is day 2 of pilot program at NoHo-focus is on education. Many riders have asked for more fare compliance.
