Guide pays €414 tram fine for tourists
A tour guide in Nice has had to pay a €414 fine after failing to composte (validate) the tram tickets for the 12 tourists in her party. She paid by bank card.
The city’s trams cost just €1 per journey if a 10-journey ticket is bought or €1.50 single.
Last year inspectors recovered €850,000 in fines from forgetful passengers – although fare dodging is common.
