Fare evasion or fare dodging, rarely called ticket evasion, is the act of travelling on public transport in disregard of the law and/or regulation by having deliberately not purchased a required ticket to travel (having had the chance to do so). It is a problem in many parts of the world, and revenue protection officers operate on many systems. Often ticket barriers, manned or automatic, are in place at stations etc. to ensure only those with valid tickets may access the transport. The term fare avoidance is sometimes used as a synonym and sometimes used to refer to the lawful use of much cheaper tickets.
