    Free metros

    If you get the metro for free (the train not the paper) is there a certain number of times that you're allowed to get fined so long as you're a good citizen that pays his way when forced, as its cheaper, before they take you to court?

    Someone told me you're allowed to get caught four times the other day, in this day and age I think there should be free food and transport for everyone. It's madness.

    I'm not sure, blatently ripping off the metro all the time? I hadn't heard of it either.

    I never pay unless I get fined and it makes it well cheap. I'd happily go on the "loser list" if it wasn't so expensive, I love their patronising posters.

    As if 90% more people in the meadowell get the metro for fear of being branded a loser by a bunch of train conductors. :lol:

    Its crazy when it happens, I was standing next to the doors when someone hit the brake, my head nearly went through a piece of glass.

    However, I did see the funny side! :lol:

    People who don't pay are just pushing up the fares for everyone else.

    That problem is solved by not paying.

    If no-one paid, they would have to install new systems and barriers like they have in London, or employ vast numbers of ticket inspectors. This would cost a fortune, which would then be passed on to anyone using the Metro once it was all in place.

    If you don't pay now the costs will even out as the price increase arrives.
