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 ticket from 180 shekels to 20 shekels for holders of period tickets.

Translated from Hebrew

What does the bill do?

The bill amends the Railways Ordinance and the Traffic Ordinance so that a passenger holding a valid period ticket (such as an annual or monthly pass) who did not validate it at the validation device before the trip will not be charged an increased fine of 180 shekels, but a reduced fine of up to 20 shekels. The bill distinguishes between a passenger who did not pay for the trip at all (to be charged 180 shekels) and a passenger who paid for a period ticket but forgot to validate the card (to be charged only 20 shekels).
