Why is it annoying to validate a ticket every time you get on a tram or a
bus? I agree it is silly the way you have to validate an already valid
ticket at non-gated railway stations, but the situation with trams and buses
is exactly the same as in every other city, and is not really different to
the way it was before, where you had to show a ticket to a bus driver or
tram conductor.
