There used to be tram conductors whose job was to help people. The ticket inspectors are just there to collect money
I truly believe part of the purpose of inspectors is to make passengers feel bad and frightened
passengers who feel bad and frightened are less likely to demand a better service
I remember the on the spot fines were so people wouldn't contest fines in court since Myki wasn't sound enough to holdup to legal scrutiny.
The inspectors were just there to scare people into making a quick buck so they wouldn't contest the shaky system the tickets were built on.
passengers should refuse on the spot
