If there's one thing worse than public transport it's the people who don't pay for it. People trying to slip through the gate behind you and then scream where's the solidarity when you don't allow them.
In Berlin I remember just two "undercover" guys getting on the subway to check tickets, here in Brussels it's a squad of at least a dozen uniformed goons with multiple attack dogs. These groups are easily spotted and there's social media channels where they leak their locations. Sometimes you'll see an entire bus empty cause someone just announced that there's checks at the next stop. Meanwhile the employees of the company just watch the whole thing laughing.
Nobody can't not afford public transport in EU, it's just that they choose to spend their money on something else and then scream poverty when they get caught.
There are rules, this isn't Vietnam!

You even managed to close with a completely random racist remark.
- OfSanguineFire 3y agoNot racist. The OP's reference is not to Vietnam the nation but Vietnam the war. It alludes to a classic quotation from The Big Lebowski.
- freilanzer 3y agoYou have no idea what you are talking about. Social tickets often cost more than the allotted money for public transportation they get on welfare: 40,01€ simply doesn't buy a ticket that costs 56€, for example.
