This claim seems suspect.

Surveillance doesn’t require fee collection.

Is violent crime in Target stores higher than it is in Costco locations because the latter charges an admission fee?

I think the issue is loitering. Target and Costco can remove people from premises who loiter, but a public transportation system might not be able to do that *assuming no loitering statutes for the stations are in place.

I would personally be surprised if violent attacks are differentiated in rate between the two.
