That's a very old manual and some of the "technical" have changed. But... Yes, the fines can be as much as $100. Why do you feel that's too high? Jo Tax Payer supports close to 80% of the total budget. Millions of tax payers pay for 80% of the fare for a couple of hundred thousand riders each year. $100 is too cheap in my opinion.
Keep in mind that the transit authority (the fare inspectors) have the freedom to use discretion whether the situation warrants a warning or a fine.
Personally I find the fines should be commensurate with parking fines.
There are some very poor people out there some really have problems paying fares, I don't know about Denver but there is no 'economically disadvantaged' pass at trimet
It sounds like that's only for repeat offenders
