Have any of you ever seen the inspector going up the bus and check our Ezlink/tickets. I have never seen one before (seen before..before Ezlink era) only on news, probably because I always take intratown(feeder) service.Which services do they usually go on board?
Are there people using ezlink cards(with concession pass) which do not belong to them? I am sure there are. Why don't drivers ask those concessionpass users to show their card?If I am not wrong ,concession users need to show their card.People may cheat.
They are also some people who tap their card few stops before they alight(not feeder service).
Hey there everyone!

Basically... What I wanna say is that, there are such people who misuses another person's concession passes, such as adults using senior citizen concession passes and people who had just graduated from secondary schools and now using the concession pass without the concession, but using their siblings' concession passes. I personallt have noticed it before, and some of my service captain friends have actually caught some in the act.
What I personally've observed and heard from my service captains friends' that... There're also some passengers who tapped several stops before their actual destinations and got caught by them too. However, I personally think that though the service captains are responsible for assuring that passengers all pay correct fares onboard the buses, the bus inspectors should also be deployed at least regularly to check on the passengers who are underpaying. My service captain friends also told me that they also noticed that some passengers whom they've caught before for underpaying actually lodge a complaint in revenge and picking out mistakes that service captains sometimes accidentally made. Yeah, that's what they told me

I think I've crapped too much

But anyway... I do notice that there's a drop in the regular ticket checks by the ticket inspectors for several months already. In fact, some of the bus services seldom have ticket inspectors deployed for ticket checks. For that, I suppose's the reason why passengers started to play cheat again and underpay their bus fares, because perhaps they started noticing that ticket inspectors are seldom deployed for ticket checks already, not that they are extinct

They're still around of course...
