Doesnt the saying go "The more you have, the more you want" ? Yes, there
are many people in high or otherwise decent paying jobs that insist on
trying to rort the system (hey, look at Canberra's TravelGate scandal).

The monthly/weekly tickets have the year stamped on the front, so he'd
have to alter that. Risky if you're asked to remove it from the plastic
holder. If you are referring to daily tickets, they change the ticket
design slightly each year, which the inspectors would no doubt pick up
on. Either way, rather risky, and silly.
