[Vic] Plans to scrap transport fines

[David Bromage <dbromage@fang.omni.com.au>]

Public transport fines could be scrapped in a radical attempt to curb
fare evasion and violence on trams and trains. Transport companies want
to offer fare dodgers the option of buying $80 of tickets instead of
paying a $100 fine.

[There is a similar process for faded car number plates. You can pay a
fine, or the fine is cancelled if you buy a new set of plates within 21
days.]
