:: And finally, I would not recommend to make this Hitchwiki full of tips of how to go by public transport illegally - of course, we can probably write about experiences of other hitchhikers who try to save money on everything and everywhere, but I think it is wrong to so openly encourage people to do illegal things, however ideologically acceptable they might sound.

The better way to deal with this topic, is to create a specific webpage handling the ethics, tolerability, pro's and con's of blackriding public transport. Besides that, there are people who are probably a lot more experienced in this field, especially those that feel a need to blackride or greyride, because of their income situation, for example unemployed mothers with children who live on government grants. For myself as a traveller I usually stick to that rule: if it is not clear to me or difficult to buy a valid ticket, if everybody is doing it or if I am out of money and getting some will take a load of time, I will jump in the vehicle. I also wonder what would be most economic for an individual on long term - to pay, or not to pay. In general blackriding buses on short rides is usually more economical than paying, well, in the big cities that is, provided one can enter the bus avoid ticket check of course. In a filled bus, for a couple of stops, with a big backpack, who bothers to buy a ticket... There are cities where blackriding is more economical, in others paying the fares regularly is more economical. --[[User:Fverhart|Fverhart]] 12:49, 16 December 2008 (UTC)
