On the flip side, there are plenty of people who get on with no intention of paying.
I know someone who traveled from Grangetown to Cardiff Central. Didn't see a conductor, so joined the queue at Cardiff Central to pay for the ticket at that end. She was pulled out of the queue, and issued with a penalty notice. Why did they think she was trying to avoid paying for her trip? Her fine was withdrawn.
