CCTV should easily reveal the truth. The Police did attended
this case, and there would have some form of paper trail as well.
She should have reported the alleged assault right there and then;
to make an allegation much later makes her credibility rather
questionable.
She did not pay adult cash fare, as a minimum
adult bus ticket costs $1.40. $0.85 is a
student cash fare.
If you pay a concession cash fare but your concession pass
validity has already expired, it is worse than having no valid
ticket for travel ($20 fine, misuse of concession is $50 fine). You
must possess a valid student pass to travel on a concession
fare.
The outcome is similar in Perth and Sydney, only that you will
be charged the same penalty for not possessing a valid ticket ($100
fine). In such cases, it did not matter whether the student forgot
to bring her valid pass or is wearing a school uniform.
She should count her lucky stars this is an incumbent local
operator and GCM is still months away. Practices of foreign ticket
inspectors
do not treat such fare evasion cases that kindly.
So you are saying that the ang mo bus company will kill her? are
you sure they are using foreginers as bus inspectors? and don't
compare penalty downunder and here. SBS
