On the #train in the UK, I appreciate that tickets are super confusing particular with #railcards and outrageously expensive but its making me smile how many people are trying to cheat and the ticket inspector is earning their keep by politely pointing out that a grainy screenshot of someone else’s ticket or using someone else’s rail card where the picture is definitely someone else might not work
The hard part is this is a sign that people can’t afford public transport which is just wrong.
