“THE TACKLING WILL BE HARD!! Since asylum seekers now receive a month in prison for sexual harassment (which is of course suspended), “fare evasion” is now also punished in an absolutely deterrent way...”
This is how a status post on Facebook begins. Here is a screenshot of an administrative document from the Leipzig transport company:
What do the Leipzig transport authorities say on this topic?
They spoke up about this on Facebook with various comments on user requests. For example, a user asks:
Source: Facebook
Can I post on the L (VB) Facebook page that using public transport within the L (VB) area of application without a valid ticket is now punishable without a fine? According to the transport conditions of the L (VB), no distinctions are made between religions, nationality, poor or rich. Transport only takes place with a valid ticket. It is therefore discriminatory for passengers who are penalized if they cannot show a valid ticket. Equal rights and equal duties for everyone!
The answers from LVB
...the same rights apply to all passengers. Every passenger who uses our means of transport must have a valid ticket. If not, the same sanctions apply to all passengers as in other public life. Many greetings Michael
as well as
...the same rules apply to all of our passengers. In addition to the valid conditions of carriage, we do not make any exceptions for any population group. The issuing of a warning is also regulated equally for all passengers, regardless of their origin. Many greetings Michael
or
...we are currently puzzling over the message your post is supposed to tell us. In all areas of life, people have discretion. Police officers, public order office employees, government employees and many others have and use discretion and use the option of a verbal or written warning. Our ticket examiners also use this tool in a large number of cases when checking tickets - regardless of the origin of passengers. Furthermore, the data of those warned will remain stored, so that this goodwill will not be granted in the event of a repeat incident. Many greetings Michael
Conclusion:
The warning receipt is probably real. However, regardless of the passenger's origin, the ticket examiner can decide whether to just issue a warning or take the passenger straight to the checkout. Ticket examiners like to take socially disadvantaged people into account. However, the data remains saved. However, if the person is caught again, they will have to pay the penalty.
