In general I feel that I hardly to never see enforcement of small but not insignificant transgressions to laws/ norms/ public order, especially in southern Europe.
And I believe it really hurts social cohesion, trust in the government, and public funds and safety.
Italy is particularly bad, but Spain too. There is never any traffic enforcement even when people are driving very unsafely, never see fare checks in the train or controls in the situations like shown on the video. You never see illegal street merchants getting moved or their knockoff goods (usually of European brands) getting confiscated, and let’s not even start with pickpockets, okupas, or the preferential treatment of savage tourists who come literally piss all over the place and disturb the vecinos.
Well, he’s doing it pretty politely, back when we had these swinging gates in Brussels I got stampeded once…
On the whole, we need to see a clamp down of people taking the piss across the board
Yep the current system just doesn’t work. Especially in southern europe as a spaghetti man mentioned. It should either be total private with companies ensuring that people pay the fare or completely socialised so you have free admission but you pay through taxes with the national tax agencies being responsible for people paying.
Good job Gordon tell them what’s up
That dude tried to get a free pass, only to meet Gordon Ramsay calling him out for everyone to hear.
Glorious.
Sometimes it is easier said than done, I don’t want to get hurt because I do someone else’s job.
The problem is, at least in Italy, those who should prevent this are not part of the police force and don’t have that kind of power and because of that they also won’t move a finger because, guess what? they don’t want to get hurt either and rightfully so…
I have a rule when it comes to people not paying for they ticket : if they ask, I let them through, if I saw them try to use their ticket but it doesn’t seem to work (if you put it against your phone it tends to happen), I offer to let them through with me, if I saw you wait for me to go through the turnstile before you jump it, I will hold the next door for you. If you don’t ask, and stick to me to pass I shove you away (especially if you’re a man, sorry I don’t feel like being fondeld too).
I don’t really mind people not paying for their ticket as long as they do it in a way that’s respectful for me.
Pajeets xD
”
But you don’t have to…” yes he does and you know it
So what was the function of the yellow vest guy at the end of the video?
Ah, I let the roadmen tailgate me. I used to get on the train to college without a ticket. Who am I to judge.
Reddit moment
There’s no rage quite like that of an indignant centrist dad from London.
I support the idea, but it kinda seemed like this guy with a ticket was looking for a fight.
Just do it like the Germans, don’t scan any ticket to get on the train and then check them on the train. Once the train is moving, they can’t escape, so they get a fine, or if they refuse to show ID (or otherwise don’t comply) they call the police.
That guy with the bike was so done with it
At 0:49 … a person in a yellow safety vest … what’s his job?
Everything about this video is perfect, but that line “You don’t know who you’re messing with” just makes me think of Ronnie Pickering 😭
I don’t really know about this one. It’s not your job to police people.
I have a guy like this in my building, always complaining about something, confronting people for putting “too much trash” into the bin and such. Nobody likes him.
Based Barry: pay your ticket because it funds public transportation you cunt.
Ah east croydon
With how expensive trains are in the UK, I don’t blame the gate hopper.
The cameraman’s a bellend.
Public transport should be free
dont redeem the ticket
Hight trust societies formed because of strict laws -> laws stopped being reinforced so hard because people learned how to respect each other -> scum take advantage of that to create a low trust society again
No. I couldn’t care less if someone does this. And even if I did, it not only is not worth the effort to debate people who do so. But it also creates unnecessary conflict and potentially puts yourself in danger.
I am sorry but why would anyone care if people do this? Unless you have shares in public transport why do you care? It isn’t my job to care and there is no incentive for me to care.
I remember this happening to me everywhere as a tourist in brussels lol
Average East Croydon experience (yes, I have been there)
in Italy it’s “how to get stabbed 101”
These kind of people give a bad name to their country. Buy a ticket or walk.
Oh I wish I could do this but chances are I would be dead. You know, cultural enrichment
Worldwide. Make the same perpetrators feel unwelcome. But be careful. Chances are high you will get stabbed and have to pay money for being mean.
Yup, also helps to keep creepers and low lifes out of the public transport system.
Pick Pockets don’t buy tickets for the Metro so keeping them out improves the situation for everyone except those people who don’t want to buy a ticket.
If i am not mistaken this was one way to clean up the New York metro from a place where people went to shit to a somehow decent public transportation system.
Parasites.
No, we need free public transportation, that’s what we need
Am I missing something? He’s not paying extra, its just letting people through a gate where the train guard which most trains in the UK have (I think?) will then check the ticket on the train and fine them if they are fare dodging?
Isn’t he just needlessly being an arsehole? (As one should in all situations of course)
