There are more ticket inspectors on the Helsinki metro than you'd think. Anyone trying to freeload is bound to get caught within a few days, the fine is large, and it goes on your credit report so it can really affect your life.
Also note that the Helsinki metro model is very similar to that in Vienna, so not a distinctly Nordic high-trust thing.
- cosmodisk 6y agoI lived in Helsinki for a year about 12 years ago. Taking a ride without paying was doable.Tried to do the same in Copenhagen- had to change the train like 5 times for the sake of going 3 stops further,as there were so many inspectors. Stockholm,on the other hand, had barriers but I used to see people jumping them all the time, especially in the evening,at night.
