It's as if legal parking costs $20, the parking ticket is $5. However you may not even get the parking ticket, so obviously you would never pay for parking.

- moufestaphio 7y agoThis was the situation for bicycle parking in Japan. ~$5 a day to park my bike legally. ~$25 ticket if my bike got confiscated for being parked illegally. It got confiscated twice in 3 years. Needless to say, basically everyone parked illegally.
- phamilton 7y agoWhen I was a kid, Brussels public transport was purely proactive payment. Hop on a bus/tram/subway, scan your card. I didn't ride enough for it to matter, and it was cheap (1 euro per trip), so I didn't game the system but many of my friends just decided it was either going to cost them $500/yr in fines or it would cost them $500/yr in tickets, so they just rode without a ticket.
