Fare issues

During a ticket inspection you were unable to show a valid ticket.  According to transportation conditions, an increased transportation charge of 60 euros is thus due.

What happens now?

  • If you have not already paid our member of staff 60 euros at the time of inspection, we ask you to transfer this sum to the account specified on the document, quoting the EBE (passenger penalty) number.
  • If you have only made partial payment at the time of inspection, the same applies to the remaining sum due.

You have a valid ticket but did not it have on you at the time of the inspection?

  • You can simply submit the ticket online via our contact form. When the ticket has been checked and confirmed by us, a processing fee of 5 euros can be transferred.
  • Alternatively, you can come into our Customer Centre to show your ticket. Please also bring a photographic identity document, the EBE document and 5 euros for the processing fee.
