minus-squareEvotech@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up20·10 months agoSame in Oslo. No turnstiles, you are just expected to have a valid ticket, (mainly digital) within the zone. And you can get checked at any time
minus-squareviking@infosec.publinkfedilinkarrow-up10·10 months agoOther than London, is there any European city with turnstiles? I’ve been traveling extensively and never noticed any.
minus-squarejnoliv@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up7·10 months agoLisbon has them, and I believe so does Porto (the only two portuguese cities with subway)
minus-squareAreaSIX @lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up5·10 months agoStockholms has automatic gates that open once your ticket gets scanned. So basically the same function?
minus-squareDags@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up4·10 months agoParis for the metro/rer. The big lines/intercity often have no one checking at the entrance, but do fairly regular ticket checks once on board.
minus-squareAkasazh@feddit.nllinkfedilinkarrow-up2·10 months agoThe Netherlands recently switched to turnstyles.
minus-squareAurelius@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·10 months agoWhat do they do if you are caught without a ticket?
minus-squareEvotech@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up8·10 months agoYou get IDd and a fine. You can either pay it there or get it mailed, but then it’s like 20% more expensive
minus-squareNatanael@slrpnk.netlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·10 months agoMost of Sweden does it that way too
minus-squareazimir@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkarrow-up1·10 months agoAnother star for Norway. If I could get family issues disentangled, I’d be applying for jobs there in a heartbeat.
