There’s always a lot going wrong at this station. The problem? These ticket gates are for different transport operators. Sometimes you can go in and out through one gate, whilst other times you can only go in through one and have to exit through another, so this is very confusing for many people who commute to and from work every day. It’s also not always clear how to get through with your bike, as they’re allowed on the train too – provided there’s space, that is. Sometimes there’s also a group of security guards or police at the station, and people are usually asked how it works. Most travellers have a public transport pass onto which they load money to pay, or which they use to pay on account by adding money to the pass – though this system is due to be phased out soon. Personally, I’d prefer to pay with a mobile phone linked to my bank account, but not everyone wants to do that – and I certainly don’t. Just the thought of dropping your phone or losing it… A third option is simply to pay with your debit card, but I don’t think that’s a safe idea either, because when it’s busy, there’s often a crush of large groups all trying to get through those gates, and you could easily lose your debit card.
That sounds really stressful for something you have to deal with every single day.
Transport is meant to make life easier, not add more confusion.
Honestly, I prefer a system where you only risk what you loaded on it, not one where you could lose everything at once.
It indeed is stressful and understandable why people prefer a car above public transport this besides of the fact the prizes are sky high and frequently there are strikes, a leaf in the railway, someone jumped in front of the train, cargo and army trains go first and if course they always claim to work on the most busy railroads, those to the airports included. If you ask me they do that on purpose to make people stof travelling.
