As you are well aware of the predicament tremendously with the ordinary discretion of the kontrollørkorps, which impose fines in the collective traffic.
It was a female pensioner, the hard way, when she in april of this year on an Orange ticket had arrived by train from London to Copenhagen central Station, where she went out to the bus stops.
Before she reached the road, the bus started to run, so she waved to the female driver, who was kind enough to stop.
the Pensioner asked about the bus drove to Bellahøj.
– Yes, hurry up and get into, ” replied the driver, after which the bus ran, it appears of the case from the Board of appeal for Bus, Train and Metro.
the Pensioner had a shopping bag in each hand and a backpack on the back as well as his travel in the right hand.
She had in the fall of 2017 broken wrist in two places, so it was a little hard for her to keep balance in the moving bus.
Therefore she said to the driver, that she would put the bags away, and then use the rejsekortet.
After she had made the bags, she walked up to the driver again to use his travel card, but on the way she met a ticket inspector.
She told him why she was on the road with his travel card in his hand and asked to go past him and back to the rejsekortstanderen.
A lady nearby explained to the inspector that the pensioner had just risen on the bus.
– the Inspector replied that it was too late, for the bus had started to run, explained the woman in the subsequent appeal.
– He (the inspector red.) took no contact to the bus driver, as otherwise well-known for my situation. The inspector asked again about my yellow card, and I saw no other way out than to give it to him. He gave me a fine of 750 dkk. I have complained about the fine, but got no success, then I must not go past a scanner. Everything else was of no matter in their world, wrote to the pensioner.
But Denmark’s largest transport company Movia, who she complained to, was just as cold as their inspector.
‘It may hereby be informed, that you can’t pass a check-in stand, put his backpack away and then go back for his check-in. If you do that, you run the risk of getting a kontrolafgift,’ wrote Movia to pensionsten.
But so was Movia put in place by the Board of appeal for Bus, Train and Metro.
’After an overall assessment of the circumstances of the case, shall the board of appeal, to Movia in the concrete case, the court must waive the kontrolafgiften against the complainant’s payment of the ticket price,’ writes the board.
’Movia shall pay dkk 10,000. incl. vat in legal costs for the lost cause in the board of appeal.’
the Board of appeal considers, namely, that there must ’leave passengers in public transport in a certain period of time to get rejsehjemmelen in order when you have baggage with them, which must be made.’
