Robert Jenrick's video's aim is to shame fare evaders into paying, He believes it's about enforcing rules, not just making a display.
In London's Underground, a sight to see,
Fare evaders abound, as far as can be,

Hoping to shame them, into doing what's divine.

He speaks of society, chipping away at its base,
Graffiti and music, a lawless, reckless pace,
He blames the previous government, for the mess we're in,
Austerity's the word, but who's to win?

They're expanding their team, to catch the culprits with ease,
Targeting the prolific, with a keen, watchful breeze.

He's sick of fare dodging, and wants to make it clear,
The authorities must act, and banish all fear,
The rules must be enforced, with a firm, steady hand,
Not just for the sake of rules, but for the land.

TfL's goal is to reduce evasion, to just 1.5% by 2030,
A challenge they're taking, with a determined tone,
New York's rate's a staggering 13%, a number so high,
But London's on the right track, with a strategy to apply.
