The inspections targeted 4, 11, 55, and 58 bus and tram lines in the City Centre District, affecting 23 vehicles and about 750 passengers.
The operation revealed that 210 passengers, approximately 30% of those checked, were traveling without valid tickets. These fare evaders were issued fines on the spot. The high percentage of fare evasion highlights a serious difficulty for the city’s public transportation system.
