* If you fail to show your ticket to an inspector you will most likely get a fine of 40 EUR which needs to be paid by bank transfer within about 10 days. Rumors are that even if you are a foreigner but living within the European Union an announcement to pay will be send even to your country.
* Ticket inspectors in Dresden (DVB AG) are dressed in civil clothes.
* Ticket inspectors are difficult but possible to spot: They do -not- look like students which mostly carry a laptop case and/or wear a white or light blue shirt with a collar. They do -not- look like businessmen which would wear suit and tie. The are mostly -not- older than 50 to 55 years. They are mostly -not- younger than 20 years. They do -not- carry any (large) case, (heavy or completely filled) backpack or plastic (shopping) bag with them. They do -not- use mp3 player or walkmen with any sort of earphones. They mostly appear in smaller groups of two or three men in an average dress (sloppy T-shirt or pullover with sportclub/brand advertisement (i.e. ADIDAS) on it, jeans, a fisherman vest, cheaper non-brand shoes). They are mostly standing (or sitting) together but are -not - talking (or arguing or even talking ) to /at each other in public.
* Ticket inspectors mostly carry a very small waist backpack or normal (but almost empty) backpack underneath a vest/shirt where their DVB AG computer devices or official papers are in.
* Ticket inspections are -not- conducted (as in some other european cities) -on- bus or tram platforms or -on- open bus or tram doors but -only- when vehiles are moving between two stops.
