Most of them are. I haven't ever seen a PF issued during a tram grip
(in Den Haag where the honour system remains in place) that I can
think of.
I have seen one or two invalid tickets presented that appeared to be
down to a genuine mistake (e.g. "timed out" - a Strippenkaart stamp
only lasts an hour or so), but the solution has been for the inspector
to stamp the ticket correctly and leave it at that.
I wonder, by comparison, what fare-dodging rates on the London bendy
buses are.
