: In Adelaide they do (or they used to) - that is why the cops had to be
: issued with tickets.

And do they still do that?

: So you ignore the rules - civil disobedience.

I am not ignoring anything, I always travel with a valid ticket, and
the majority of the time validate it.

Do you validate you ticket every signle time with out expection?
(I suppose you have never missed a validation)

: It is also used for other purposes (or at least it is supposed to be).
: Again, this is not Melbourne, but Sydney Buses use the information obtained
: to determine where and when there is a higher than normal icidence of
: concesison travel - they use this information to target revenue protection
: operations, with a view to detecting those travelling on concession tickets
: without concession cards. There are other things they can tell.

At least someone uses all the crap collected, I don't think Melbourne
does (yet.)


About Sydney's light rail:
What was the system when it first started for selling tickets and
validating them (it that is what you do with them)?

Is that the same today?

Have they had/have any revenue protection, ie have they had a problem
with people traveling without tickets?
