What we need is a generation of politicians who understand that public services don't lose money, they cost money - because they're a public service, not a business. This mindset about "illegal riders" is all wrong. Imagine having to buy a ticket to use the pavement.

Please don't give them any ideas...
I rather like the free public transport system they have in Luxembourgh. No hassle and everyone shares in the cost of keeping cars off the road by paying taxes. You still wanna drive? Sure, but you still pay for public transport too.
People not being ready to scan when they know they'll have to scan is simply an utter lack of consideration, worse even when they won't step aside while getting their card.
As for the rest yeah I do share your gripes although I've never been even close to being sliced by the doors.
Some people do not know they will have to scan, but can we blame them ? I feel the ones not ready to scan are not daily commuters, they take the metro occasionally, are waiting in the lane without visibility on the gate, and see they have to scan only when it’s their turn.
