I have finally seen someone caught dodging the fare

Koalemos @Asylum (47893) • Manchester, England 23 May 16

The local Metrolink tram service is a fairly widespread system, but the amount of ticket inspections that take place is laughable. I have constantly seen people walk onto the platform and board a tram without ever buying a...

Photo Manchester Metrolink Tram Services

Arthur Chappell @arthurchappell (44941) • Preston, England 7 Sep 15

The mode of transport I'll be using a lot this week. Manchester's trams are pretty neat except when they get very over-crowded when they can be a living Hell. Getting tickets for them is annoying as you get the tickets from a very...
