Fare evaders are the same as most users. If most users don't see a ticket
inspection for years, you'll have almost 50% evaders.

As proven, accidently, on Boppard-Emmelshausen.

(Boppard-Emmelshausen is "steep grade", and thus, regulations required
the guard to be in the cab. Clever managers without knowledge of railway
regulations never sent a ticket inspector, because there was a guard...)


Have you actually got any idea how revenue collection is generally
handled on British buses, HaJo?
Clue: the London "pay before you board" area is not the way the rest
of the country works.

As soon as the only check is the bus driver, and there aren't any
inspectors in the buses, it's very easy to get through.
