Transportation companies state that such violations most often occur during peak hours when there are many passengers on the buses, and drivers do not have enough time to check each payment code.
It has been reported that some passengers use the same receipts multiple times, show outdated documents, or take screenshots of single-use tickets and pass them on to others. In rare cases, the same receipt is presented by up to 15 people, taking advantage of the fact that the driver is focused on driving the bus and cannot closely monitor the payments.
Representatives of the carriers describe such actions as "extremely unscrupulous" and emphasize that drivers face constant abuses from some passengers.
According to transportation services, such schemes cause significant damage to companies and create additional problems in organizing transportation in the city.
