Hi there

Hosts are on trams for a period of 2 weeks after introduction of AT on a
route and after that they are withdrawn and replaced by roving CSE's who will
board trams at random and check tickets using a PTR (Portable Ticket Reader)
If the passenger does not have a ticket or has a ticket but has not validated
it the the journey they are undertaking, then a infringement notice will be
issued.So you should remember to validate your ticket evry time you board a
vehicle.
