Some poor bloke on ScotRail gets into an argument with the Ticket checker after getting caught for riding free on the train and doesn’t heed the call to get off the train. Repeatedly. Boom! There comes a fellow-rider who didn’t bat an eye and proceeds to gets involved.. What unfolded next can only be described as the “Scottish treatment” ..

The only question I have – how many times did this driver get pulled over by police after erecting this monumental bill board? A before vs. after comparison would be priceless.

Boston MBTA’s General Manager Richard Davey was headed to Ashmont on the T’s Red Line for the unveiling of banners created by youth artists from Dorchester when he spotted the scofflaw attempting to climb over the fare gates at the lesser-used Winter Street entrance to Park Street.
He walked up the evader and confronted him for jumping over the turnstiles. Caught by surprise and enveloped in shame, the scofflaw retreats back. This is where it gets better.
“He kind of fumbled around, and he did not have the CharlieCard (aka the fare card) and had just a couple of bucks on him, so I actually offered to pay for him,” Davey said. “He declined and said he would get his own ticket.”
Oh well, at least the young man had the pride to pay for his own ticket after getting caught red handed. Good job, Richard Davey. MBTA should be proud to have a vigilant man at the top running the show.
