People should not be punished for honest mistakes, says watchdog, amid concern at fare evasion measures
Train firms have been urged by the rail passenger watchdog to give a “yellow card” to people travelling without the correct ticket rather than rush to fines or prosecution.
Transport Focus said a new system was needed to ensure that passengers who had made an honest mistake were not punished unfairly, amid growing concern at measures being taken to tackle fare evasion.
