===Blackriding===
Blackriding in overground transport is possible. Although ticket inspectors don't wear uniform you can recognise them as they usually work in a group of 2 or 3, wear a portable video recorder and a badge with name and photo on the chest. So if you notice inspectors standing at the bus stop, just get off. They won't do anything to you.
Public transport fares: 700 BRB On the underground it is almost impossible to blackride as there are turnstiles there (€0.175both at the entrance and exit)Marshrutka fares: ~2200 BRB and a person keeping order (€0usually together with a policeman).55)
Penalty fares: ~ 7000 BRB (€1There are conductors on city trains so blackriding is hardly possible.75)
