I don’t understand. Wouldn’t most fare dodgers buy no tickets, not just buy a single ticket for part of a return journey?
What’s the reason that people try to dodge fares by buying a single ticket? Is it because they know when and where tickets are likely to be checked?
- devnullbrain 2y agoI believe the PC is hinting about station barriers. Major stations need you to scan a ticket (or con a guard) to get off the platform or out of the station. Minor stations sometimes don't - and if it's your station you'll know. I think the real reason is less sensational: trains that go full in one direction still have to go back in the other direction whether they're full or not.
- lozenge 2y agoThe real reason is the government has set return fares and let private companies freely set the price of single fares.
