Consider this article from Berlin where a sizeable number of people in jail are there for riding without a ticket.
The cost of that needs to be taken into account here.
- hadlock 5y agoIn germany, they'll put you in jail for fare evasion? I've always seen it done as a fine and they kick you off the train at the next stop.
