NEW YORK,  NEW YORK -(77WABC)- As if  violent crime in the subway isn’t bad enough—-now the MTA is going after fare beaters.  The MTA is putting together a  so-called “Fareness”  panel to look into the problem. MTA Chairman Janno Lieber  says this year alone, the agency is expected to lose $500 million dollars because of fare beaters.

The NYPD says assaults are up 33% percent from last year, and up more than 50% percent from last month.  Stabbings and slashings are up a shocking 70% percent compared to last year.
