Posted by WillD on Tue Jun 30 17:04:21 2015, in response to POP doesn't work in Germany: Fines rise from €40 to €60 in select cities, enforcement increases, posted by Olog-hai on Tue Jun 30 15:47:37 2015. Your conclusion does not follow from the article. How does an increase in fines for non-payment mean the POP system is not working? The Euro is way down, almost equal in value to the dollar, so it's much more likely that fines set 5 to 8 years ago aren't as effective at deterring fare evasion as they are now. Raising the fine brings back the deterrent. That's true for all fare collection strategies, be they barrier, conductor collected, or proof of payment. |
