train stories
Even when I was riding today sporty way by bicycle to work, so I'm basically now but public transport users. This is very nice and also convenient, especially since the compounds are (bus-> train-> subway) for my needs quite well in their schedule.
So I have worried me a year subscription card and need to do not try to purchase tickets. A few weeks ago but I had lost my card on the bus. The reason I did so precisely because I was the bus driver still and just after exiting the railway station reached into his pocket and they are no longer found. The bus was also gone. Had to have been the phone call because I had to fumble out my cell phone from the same pocket where I had the card.
Well, I just had to buy a single ticket for 2.60 euros. Back and forth in each case the same game. The lost and found my card was apparently not given, but I was put off, something could also take it before. Now I had me a week, where time and just on the last day was I seal the envelope with the card in the mailbox. Happy ending then, and roughly 25, - € Umkosten why. Did it every day tickets purchased and not used the bus but walked on foot to the station.
few days later sitting opposite me on the train a woman who searches for the control briefly in their pocket and then to the conductor says, they had forgotten their subscription card in the other pocket. Well, says the conductor, show it to stop at once, or something like that. His exact words I did not understand, at least he wrote nothing and just went on.
Yesterday I passed the same: I had my card is not as it should be done in my wallet, but left it in his pocket, I was present yesterday. On the way there I was not controlled. I had but very well thought out, like to offer my hand that I would like to show them at the station switch! On the return trip, however, there came the conductor, I explained the situation and he said quite nice, it was quite possible he would only need my passport. He noted some things in his mobile data center and printed me out a piece of paper. With this I should go to the counter and show the card. That would be a fee of 7, - € cost.
Bah! More than two single tickets would have cost me!
Why begrudge me for no one a free ride because of forgetfulness?
