De Lijn erhöht zum ersten Mal seit mehr als zehn Jahren die Bußgelder. Ein erstes Vergehen eines Erwachsenen kostet dann 127 Euro (gegenwärtig 107 Euro).

It is worth noting this comes on the heels of De Lijn beginning to fine people with active subscriptions who did not validate their mobib upon entering a bus or tram, in addition to the claiming that 4% of riders do not have a valid ticket. Whether that 4% includes the aforementioned actively subscribed yet unvalidated has not been made clear.

But they never check so what’s the use?

They probably don’t dare doing it because of the chance pearls we have attracted threatening their lives for the smallest remark.
