they have fines for travelling out of the validity of your ticket.

Dunno about Belgium, but in Germany I recall that the penalty fare
tended to be at least 20 quid. A tenner is really quite low.

(I'd actually support increasing it to be in line with the usual
levels for a parking fine, personally - i.e. 40 quid within so many
days, then 80, then 120, but with the same facility to appeal, as a
tenner is just not a deterrent and the amounts of money being paid (or
not paid) are roughly similar).
