:: Basically, it comes to the point that it is really hard to predict who is a controller, and pick him/them out of the entering people. I guess even someone living in the city for a long time, someone who has a trained eye for that, would make a mistake by not recognizing a controller, too, once in a while.
:: And finally, I would not recommend to make this Hitchwiki full of tips of how to go by public transport illegally - of course, we can probably write about experiences of other hitchhikers who try to save money on everything and everywhere, but I think it is wrong to so openly encourage people to do illegal things, however ideologically acceptable they might sound.

The better way to deal with this topic, is to create a specific webpage handling the ethics, tolerability, pro's and con's of blackriding public transport. Besides that, there are people who are probably a lot more experienced in this field, especially those that feel a need to blackride or greyride, because of their income situation, for example unemployed mothers with children who live on government grants. For myself as a traveller I usually stick to that rule: if it is not clear to me or difficult to buy a valid ticket, if everybody is doing it or if I am out of money and getting some will take a load of time, I will jump in the vehicle. I also wonder what would be most economic for an individual on long term - to pay, or not to pay. There are cities where blackriding is more economical, in others paying the fares regularly is more economical. --[[User:Fverhart|Fverhart]] 12:49, 16 December 2008 (UTC)
