What' s the punishment for travelling in a bus without a ticket?

Probably a severe scolding and being de-boarded at the next bus stop. Death. That's the punishment for bus travel without a ticket... Normally by being thrown under the hooves of enraged bulls. But if it's the first offense, then you'll be thrown under the hooves of enraged kittens. Be warned! You are under watchful eyes that see all! Pay the fare! Where I came from it used to be a kick in the butt but nowadays it means prosecution and if a minor is involved child counseling. Personally I think the kick method was better and a better deterrent. usually only a fine if you get caught, sometimes you can just get a warning though.
