Finally! Bloody took them long enough, these fare dodgers have been having a free ride for months. bout time they got caught out.

River Cole2026-07-06T04:33:29.000Z

great, another app. Cos what we really need is more ways for them to track us. what happened to just paying cash ffs

As someone who actually buys a ticket, it's annoying watching ppl sneak on. Good that they're finally doing something but knowing Metlink it'll be buggy as hell

Taylor Wright2026-07-06T05:10:29.000Z

100% it'll crash the first time a ticket inspector tries to use it

I hope this also works for the bus. I tap on with my card all the time and sometimes it double charges me at the end. total rip off.

Ella Thompson2026-07-06T05:13:29.000Z

same, I've been double charged heaps. Their system is a joke.

Sophie Ngata2026-07-06T05:33:29.000Z

probably a million and a half knowing how they waste money. couldve just hired more inspectors

Ruby Fraser2026-07-06T05:30:29.000Z

Yeah nah the people complaining are the ones dodging fares lol. If you're doing the right thing there's nothing to worry about

Taylor Wright2026-07-06T06:21:29.000Z

yeah hard, Ruby. Plus it's not like the fares are cheap, but still theft is theft

River Cole2026-07-06T05:41:29.000Z

ffs Ruby check your privilege. Some of us can barely afford rent let alone trains, not everyone's a corpo

Ruby Fraser2026-07-06T06:17:29.000Z
