Lambada only happens with ticket barriers. Get rid of the barriers,
and there will no more Lambada.


How will getting rid of ticket barriers prevent dishonesty?


How will keeping (and expanding) ticket barriers prevent dishonesty?


Because with barriers the dishonest need to tailgate others to get out -
and there are ways to reduce this, ways which can be discussed in
newsgroups....

Isn't dishonesty a favored attitude by a ruling ideology which
prescribes the egoistic battle of each against each other?

Aren't ticket barriers just another expression of this ideology
which elates personal greed as the supreme virtue?


Personal greed is expecting other people to pay for your travel.
