I'm not talking about "mystic evildoers"... I'm talking about the guy
right in front of you, whom you know doesn't have a ticket. He's the one inconveniencing you, why don't you say something to him, push him out of line, and do you and all the legal train riders a service? Or call for a cop?
But anyway...

Will it? Buying a car will cost you more money. If you want cheap or free, you'll be walking or taking a bike. Will that really equal a slight inconvenience over the train service (for, say, a 20 mile trip)? Or are you better off taking the extra effort to make sure you can use the train?
Or will you just jump the train illegally, and become part of the problem?
It's up to all responsible, tax-paying citizens to do their part to make sure society operates the way it's supposed to, whether you do it yourself, or call upon people who are charged with doing it for you (like the authorities). Simply rolling over and letting illegal activities happen doesn't help anybody except the scofflaws, and it will only grind society to a halt.
