I just had my third strike with the Long Arm Of The Prague Public Transport Ticket Inspectors. Took tram 6 towards home as always, loaded with a bag with the 2L of Becherovka I was more or less ordered to buy for my mother, some minced maso(meat), 2 packages of Syr (Cheese) and a couple of bottles of Pivo (Beer).
And the other hand was loaded with a 16 pack of papers for the almighty porcelain god.
Stepped on the tram and thought, as I passed the guy sitting in the last seat, that I wouldn´t be surpriced if he was an Inspector.
They go undercover here, wearing civilian clothing.
As the tram started to roll off he stood up and came to the end where I was standing, showed his little badge and asked for the ticket in czech.
Me: -Excuse Me?
Insp: -Ticket..
M: -Ticket?
I: -Yes...
M: -I don´t have one..
I: -You don´t have?
M. -No
I: -Ok, 500 krown..
And he took out his "ticketbook" and showed me this little shining ticket which said 500 czk.
M: -I only have creditcard, I replied and just realised how stupid I was telling him that. Now he could say that I would go to a Bankomat and get the money.
I: -No money?
M: -No, I answered and took out my cardholder
I: -Bankomata carda?
M: -No...
I: -No bankomata carda?
M: -No bankomat card, no... And I pull out my driverlicense and hands it to him..
M: -This is my driverslicens.., And he takes it and starts to look at it, front to back, checks his watch. Looks at it for about 3minutes, then looks at me and hands me my licens back.
I: -OK
I guess that there is something magical about my driverslicens?
This is the third time that I have got myself into the clear without having to pay anything while joyriding the public transports here in Prague.
Haven´t had a monthpass since I returned from Manchester in late September.
so that will make it, lets see, 6 months now without paying.
That ends up to 460 x 6 = 2760:- + the 3 times I haven´t had to pay the fine.
That is additional 1500:- so in total that makes it 4260czk.
About 1420sek.
But why?
I´m just lazy I guess.
It is not in Sweden where you can go to the closest Pressbyrå or station and buy the ticket easily. No here they have special places in the center where you buy the monthpasses. And they are only open during regular business hours.
So basiclly I would never have a chance buying it with my workinghours.
But then again.
I guess that I´m gonna continue until I really have to pay it.
But then again, i have still earned on it ;)
