turnstile jumper
Subway gate hopper
A turnstile jumper is someone who evades paying a fare by jumping over or ducking under a turnstile, typically in a subway or transit system: Police arrested several turnstile jumpers during the crackdown.
The term extends to anyone who bypasses payment barriers, and occasionally appears in discussions of petty crime enforcement and policing priorities.
