the peak of prisinors being cadged because of #blackriding is in #berlin around 30%
30% of the people inside the prison being there because society denied them a right for transportation.
The argumentation behind this is that it couldn't be otherwise financed.
Well how about having 30% blackriders in the prison costs you very much?
And yet there are profen concepts of open accsess transportation just working great

@paulfree14 that is surprisingly and excessively harsh, in UK the only way someone usually gets prison for this is to be doing it regularly for years *and* then being violent to the guards and transport cops when caught or also dealing hard drugs.
More common they are just banned from the station area (there is CCTV everywhere in UK public transport and has been since 1960s in London)
(BTW Schwarzfahren is better translated as "fare evasion")
