90 francs will be charged if you travel on Swiss public transport without a valid ticket. It might soon become even more expensive. To get to the buses in other countries, you have to get caught at least twice. The fintech company Bunq has compiled an analysis of how high the penalties are for fare evaders in other European countries. And it turns out: Switzerland only makes it to ninth place.
Leader, on the other hand? Stockholm. The Swedish capital charges offenders without a ticket for subways, buses and trains 1,500 Swedish crowns, the equivalent of around 128 francs.
In Lisbon, inspectors also act rigorously and charge evaders 120 euros, around 118 francs. With up to 100 pounds (114 francs), London in Great Britain also makes it into the top three, in Brussels in Belgium they charge 107 euros, or around 105 francs. Our neighbors in Austria also charge more than 100 francs: in Vienna you pay 105 euros, or around 103 francs, if you travel without a ticket.
According to Bunq, the bottom places are Sofia in Bulgaria (fare evaders can get away with just 15 francs), Riga in Latvia (also 15 francs) and Vilnius in Lithuania (just under 16 francs).
