These half arsed installations don't really help the case that

wrong indeed. If you can't cope with peak demand then don't bother.

To look at it differently, fare dodging in the peak is likely to be low
as most have season tickets. So this might actually make sense.

I appreciate we're talking about Cambridge here, but in London in the
era of Oyster that logic would not apply (many commuters use PAYG).
