Kids don’t have jobs and people don’t choose to get sick. People do choose to ride trains. Do you just think nobody should ever pay for anything? Haven’t we seen enough times how that works in practice?
People absolutely do choose trains over cars, when the train is actually viable. Just because that isn’t a thing in the UK doesn’t mean it couldn’t be.
Trains are not the only way to travel. Your definition of ‘need’ is so broad as to encompass most of the economy. Organizing society on the basis of that kind of thinking has been tried and the results are invariably disastrous.
I did read the article, I think the fine was too harsh for an honest mistake. But I wasn’t responding to the article, I was responding to someone celebrating the railways losing money because of people not paying their fares.

Nobody chooses to ride trains except old steam trains, stuff like the Orient Express
99% of people use trains because they need them, usually to get to work.

Calm doon Liz, western Europe organises society just like that, and there’s no need for you to gargle a billionaire’s todger about it
Nothing to see here folks. Just another brainwashed capitalist-dick-sucking class-traitor. He can go to the wall with the rest of them.
Didn’t read the article huh?
