fare-dodging
Riding without paying
Fare-dodging is the practice of traveling on public transportation without paying the required fare—jumping turnstiles, sneaking onto buses, or riding trains without valid tickets.
The term is more common in British English: Fare-dodging costs the transit system millions annually.
The person who does it is a fare-dodger.
