Pure coincidence but the day after I made my last post The Age opened up the can of worms about Connex and their thuggish ticket inspectors. What really struck me was the number of people who, like me, have been zealously over-penalised for making an honest mistake and now have no desire to deal with the public transport providers. I don’t understand why there isn’t a warning system where the department has the authority to issue a “warning” letter to someone who has made an honest mistake – with the additional caveat that if they are caught again within 12 months with an unvalidated ticket, etc they receive a penalty.
