As many as 240,000 Poles are indebted station. Total they not paid for a ticket worth almost 200 million. For each of them an average of more than $ 800 outstanding tolls. They could for it four times to go from Przemysl to Szczecin and back, and is first class – according to data from the National Debt Register.
Within a year, Polish train travels about 300 million people. The number of passengers in recent years has fallen dramatically (even several times), even though it debtors is roughly the same.
– It is customary in our belief that for rail travel does not have to pay. Do not forget, however, that riding stowaways closed in a circle with no way out. Explaining that we do not want to pay for poor service, do not give carriers a chance for it to improve something – says Adam Lacki, president of KRD.
The average amount of debt that they have to recover the Polish railways from their unfair passengers This 831 zlotys. The highest average long are the free riders in the age group 36-45 years – up to 900 zlotys. They represent up to a quarter of all debtors. Most are in turn free-riders young people, aged 24-35 years (up to 40 per cent. Of all non-paying tolls). Only 18 percent. of all debtors are women.
How can ride stowaways? Example of a 36-year-old from Mazovia shows that quite a lot. Polish record holder in the debt is to cast as many as 55 thousand, the value of the car pretty good!
– A ticket for the train can not forget. The conductor is always present, and that means the inevitability of control – says Radoslaw Horse of the debt collection company Inkasso Kaczmarski. He adds that the railways more efficient to cope niepłacącymi travelers. – Do not just take the option of adding the debtor to KRD, but also actively windykują those who “forgot” to buy a ticket. Another possibility, which use, free riding is the sale of debt collection agencies. We have to be so aware that the penalty for driving without a ticket can meet us even after years – warns
