Fare Evasion 

Non-payment of street-hail or ride-hail fares is an offence under the PTC Act. A person guilty of an offence is liable on conviction either to a fine not exceeding $1,000 and where the person is a repeat offender, to a fine not exceeding $2,000 or to imprisonment for a term not exceeding 6 months or to both. Prosecution action may be taken against offenders and particularly, those who refuse to make restitution of the unpaid fare.
