Starting Monday, the MBTA is ramping up efforts to ensure passengers paid for their ride on Greater Boston's transit system.

Commuters on Monday can expect to see fare evasion monitors -- dressed in blue shirts and khaki pants -- looking out for anyone trying to avoid paying for their ride.

The first time someone tries to evade, they will get a warning. Their name and contact information will be taken down. MBTA General Manager Phil Eng spoke to NBC10 Boston about the new program.

After the warning, your first, second and third offense will cost you $50. A fourth and any additional offense after that will cost $100.

There will be an appeals process if you feel you get a citation you should not have.
