Reducing the Amount of Monetary Compensation for Traveling Without Validating a Ticket on Public Transportation (Legislative Amendments) Bill

Translated from Hebrew: הצעת חוק להפחתת סכום הפיצוי הכספי בשל נסיעה ללא תיקוף כרטיס בתחבורה ציבורית (תיקוני חקיקה)

TL;DRA bill to reduce the fine for traveling on public transportation without validating a period ticket from 180 shekels to 20 shekels.

Translated from Hebrew

What does the bill do?

The bill amends the Railways Law and the Traffic Ordinance to distinguish between a passenger who did not pay for the trip at all and a passenger who bought a period ticket (annual, monthly or daily pass) but forgot to validate it at the electronic validation machine. A passenger who did not pay at all will be fined 180 shekels; a passenger who held a valid period ticket but did not validate it will be fined a reduced amount not exceeding 20 shekels.
