Ayman Yanoussi, 21, had also been made subject to a Sexual Harm Prevention Order (SHPO) to control his perverted behaviour, but also flouted this after two weeks.
He spent December 28, last year travelling around the tube network, exposing himself to various females and pleasuring himself.
At Inner London Crown Court Yanoussi, of St. John's Road, East Ham received fourteen months imprisonment.
He pleaded guilty to two counts of exposure; breaching his SHPO and possessing cannabis.
On the day of his arrest he was first seen by a woman at Upminster Bridge Underground station at 11.20am, sitting on a platform bench.
She noticed Yanoussi's trousers were around his ankles as he touched himself intimately.
When she took out her phone to record him Yanoussi quickly pulled his trousers up and hid behind a pillar.
He then boarded a District Line train heading towards Wimbledon.
Not long after he boarded the train, Yanoussi sat next to another woman and pulled his trousers down.
After that woman moved away, Yanoussi sat opposite another woman, again exposing himself to her before she moved away.
Yanoussi repeated this behaviour a third time, sitting next to another woman and exposing himself as the train approached Elm Park.
Yanoussi continued to expose himself on different trains across London, while occasionally touching himself intimately until 12.51pm when a woman reported his behaviour to a member of staff.
The train Yanoussi was on was held at Hammersmith Underground station and Yanoussi quickly fled the station.
A British Transport Police (BTP) officer was dispatched to the station and found Yanoussi waiting at a bus stop, where he was promptly arrested for exposure.
After being detained, it emerged Yanoussi had been handed a Sexual Harm Prevention Order less than two weeks earlier when he was sentenced to nine months' imprisonment, suspended for 18 months, having pleaded guilty to three counts of Upskirting that occurred in April, 2024.
While on the way to custody, Yanoussi began to slam his head against the wall of the custody van stating that he regretted his actions and that he was "taking the L.”
BTP Detective Constable Ian Hourihan said: "Yanoussi's actions that day were despicable.
“He sought sexual gratification on the railway at the expense of dozens of women and other commuters.
"I am pleased to see him put behind bars and would like to commend the bravery of the women who came forward to report his actions and support our investigation so we could secure justice. “We believe that other women may have been targeted by Yanoussi that day and I want to encourage them to come forward and report their experiences so we can secure justice for them too.
"If you've witnessed something similar or see any sexual offending on the railway network, I urge you to report it to us by discreetly texting 61016.
“We take every report seriously, and officers can be dispatched to intercept trains and arrest offenders.”
