Nope, but here's a $300 fine, as well as treatment as if you're a criminal, for not being able to afford a $10 daily fare for our fucked PT system
Don’t even need to be fined to be treated like a criminal by them.
I remember my last run in with them 20 years ago and it seems they haven’t done a thing to change their conduct all those years.
Every damn time, they surround me like I'm gonna do a runner. For God's sake, I'm 70kg soaking wet, I'm neither a flight risk nor a violence one. Meanwhile the methhead up the back of a bus never gets a second look, even though he's threatened four people today.
Yup total criminal here. Like they literally saw me touch on 10 seconds ago, but are all looming and demandy. Oh? Disappointed I have a full fare card and a monthly pass? Poor diddums. This blue hair mean jack squat about what you can assume. And do be remembering to say both Please and Ma’am while you’re at it Arse-ifer 🖕🏻
That’s because you’re less likely to hurt them and also be intimated by them at the same time and likely they get a power trip from intimidating people who can’t fight back.
Moment they see they can get hurt by someone erratic they go running away like cowards.
