Berlin app warns of ticket inspectors
The "Frea Faran" app is circulating in Berlin to help public transport users avoid ticket checks. The app plans to display real-time information about inspection routes and inspector locations, aiming to enable people to travel without tickets. This app was developed by young Johann Trillov, who believes that the current surveillance system unjustly harms individuals with difficult social circumstances, especially considering that around 9,000 people are imprisoned each year for using public transportation without a valid ticket. The development team emphasizes that the app operates within a legally limited and low-risk framework, despite protests from transportation companies, which argue that the app could impact their revenue. Public transportation in Germany is often funded by public money. It’s worth noting that traveling without a ticket in Germany incurs a fine of 60 euros. Some individuals are imprisoned if they repeat the offense or fail to pay the fine, and the annual losses from ticketless travel in Berlin are estimated at around 20-25 million euros.
