No, but I wonder how they collect a fare on trams that crowded? Many of
them have a trailer car, and I saw no sign of conductors. If there is a
fare at all, they must depend on passengers' honesty to pay it, perhaps
reinforced by draconian penalties on fare dodgers who get caught. The Metro
fare is 5 won, so trams must be no more than that.

If its anything like Ukraine then there's either a conductor wandering around
or you have to pay the driver directly in which case its based on honesty
since you can board on all doors.

I've seen the Ukrainian ticket inspectors and you REALLY don't want to ****
with them. There's no polite lady inspector saying "excuse me Sir, you will
have to pay a penalty fare" over there. These are huge guys - probably ex
military or police - in groups of 3 or 4 who don't look like they'll take
"nyet" for an answer.
