This lot probably got there free state pass any way the land of free,she thinks it's really unfair by not paying

Always the same culprits who don’t think they should have to pay for anything.

Pathetic, use it pay for it!

Don't like the price, then walk.

[@peterkelly8357]

the first girl interviewed whinging about it not being fair and it being a callous attitude because she is a 15/16 year old is probably the first to insist she is a grown woman at the Pro Palestine march. TfGM should also clamp down on smokers and vapers at stations and cyclists riding along the tramway, and cyclists who ignore the "cyclists dismount" signs at tram crossings.

[@pnwlion9337]

Ahhh an opportunity to be a victim 👍

where did she mention her colour you idiot? and because of your colour your 'allowed' to fare dodge - how convenient - look everyone we have uncovered a pathetic racist

[@richardperry5538]

Nothing was mentioned about colour so it appears you're the one with the problem.

[@mattcordes5249]

I think anyone under 6 should not have to pay (but they, or their parents would have to provide id/ proof of age upon request from inspectors). All child single tickets and return should be the same price, regardless of arrival and depature stations (Again they have to be under 16 and have id/ proof of age upon request by inspector). The children should be asked to pay two return tickets, despite where they are travelling to or from, and a verbal warning should be given and notice. Adults however, the prices of their ticket should varey, on length of journey, and where there going to or from. If they are caught without a ticket, if it's their first time they should just pay £100 up front to metrolink staff, and nothing more is done. Second time, they should be fined £1000 and cautioned. Third time the case should go to court and a prison sentence should be given e.g. 6 months to 1 year or like a £10,000 fine. It is totally unfair, that very nice, truthfull, upfront, generous people like me and a lot of others, should have to pay more for are tram tickets; because students just cannot be bothered to pay the maximum of £6.20 for a tram ticket. This means that tram fares have ti be raised, for the buisness needs to gain back revnue they have lost, which in the long run could have awfull effects on the buisness. Where good money could be spent on free tram travel days for all e.g. two long weekends per year, improving standards and security of stations; improving tram tracks and wires; improving and building new lines; buying trams with more seats in; and spending their money on stuff that all the good respectfull passengers deserve. Instead they are pumping lots of cash into funding the disgraceful people who just can't be bothered to buy a monthly, yearly, weekly, return, or single ticket to complete their journeys to school. Hopefully whe we are out of this stupid ressesion, all the idiots who do not pay for their fare, will be locked up, and all the good people like myself will be rewarded for their patiance while Metrolink have to raise prices for the idiots who just can't be bothered to pay for their journey. FARE DOGERS IF YOU DON'T WAN'T TO PAY, GET A LIFT FROM YOUR FAMILIES OR WALK.

Matt Cordes+ In London anyone under 16 travel for free, but 11-16 needs a zip oyster card.

[@lordvoldemort6478]

Matt Cordes yeah if you wait for free travel you have to wait another 100 years

[@jeffsimon9594]

That's right, TfL desperately needs that revenue to fund crucially important schemes like DEI training, woke renaming of train lines etc.

[@mudchute4dlr]

instead of a teenager bringing id with them (in 2024 im sure plenty of fortnite kids dont know what ID is), a system similar to london's zipcard would be better (shows their age bracket, name, face and more, whereas an adult oyster doesn't have that)

[@countycricklewood]

16yrs old! You are capable of knowing what is right or wrong! You get a fine! Simple

[@victorwgrana]

Now let me guess who?😅

[@casualken]

Walk then

[@barneycasting8331]

All public transportation should be free in the UK! I am an immigrant who came to UK as an asylee, so now UK and its taxpayers should take care of me. They need to give me unlimited free rides on UK public transportation system. I think there is a law, if you are admitted as an asylee and your case get approved, the government should bare all the expenses of that person.
