Pat McCrory reflects on conversations with riders along Charlotte’s light rail from three years ago, many admitting they rarely paid fares. An audit now confirms more than half of riders weren’t paying, sparking debate over oversight, accountability, and system value. McCrory calls it a failure of enforcement and culture, arguing public trust depends on fairness and responsibility.
