Neither lowering fares or simply increasing enforcement can solve fare evasion alone. Investing in better services and winning public trust are just as important.

i love adding facial recognition to every single thing we have
It doesn’t need facial recognition. If it’s for statistical purposes, it only need numbers in and off, not to track us. That’s the point.
how are you getting data on the trips people make then?
As in, their connections rather than just simple trips? Why is that necessary for buses and not for cars?
Remember our whole transport network and all others worldwide used to be plan services prior to centralised tracking. Most would think services have worsened, not improved despite increasing population density and worse car traffic making public transport more attractive.
So, the tracking they already do doesn’t seem to be improving service. However, that’s subjective.
You don’t put data of people’s trips, you count how many people entered in x stop and how many left in y spot to see which stops are getting more use and thus could require another route in the future, you don’t need to individualize the data, the point of interest is the stop, not the individual person using the bus
