"Keolis Commuter Services pitched a plan Monday to reduce fare evasion and make buying tickets easier on the MBTA commuter rail.
In a survey conducted earlier this year, Keolis found that 15 to 20 percent of commuter rail passengers are traveling on the wrong fare or have not purchased a ticket at all, costing the system as much as $35 million a year, according to a press release from the company.
