Know Your Rights: When You Don't Have to Pay a Fine for No Ticket on Public Transport

Warsaw, Poland – A recent viral video highlights passenger rights concerning public transport tickets, particularly in cases where ticket machines are out of order. According to legal experts from Centrum Mocy Prawnej, a passenger is not liable for a fine if they are unable to purchase a ticket due to a malfunctioning ticket machine. The video, which has garnered significant attention, explains that in such scenarios, the charge incurred is an additional fee, not a punitive fine. This interpretation is supported by court rulings from cities including Krakow and Warsaw. Furthermore, the legal advice clarifies that there is no constitutional obligation for passengers to own a smartphone or to use mobile applications for ticket purchases, even if they possess a device. This addresses a common misconception and reinforces that traditional ticket purchasing methods remain valid options for commuters. The information provided aims to empower public transport users with knowledge of their rights, ensuring they are aware of legal protections in unforeseen circumstances like equipment failures.
