The act of trying to get into a subway station without paying. The name originates from the method, in that someone will wait for another passenger to pay, and when the gates open, the other person will immediately walk in right behind them so the gates don't close immediately. This only works with fare gates that open and close automatically, and not turnstiles.
The word is believed to have originated in Boston, where the act became more common after the MBTA increased fare prices.

As I was going into the subway station today, someone bumped into me from behind. When I turned around, the transit cops were giving him a ticket for piggybacking.

It was too hard to get her legs far enough apart, so piggybacking was the only option that would work.

after not drinking or smoking weed for a while and your buzz dulls you drink or smoke again using what's in your system to get you back to the buzzed state or beyond it

At my midtown apartment, I piggybacked off the chick next door for months, but when I moved I had to get my own internet service.
