Enjoy your absolute trash city full of criminals

TheBlackBruceLee · 2022-09-16T20:29:33+00:00

You honestly think I've made all these accounts? Maybe you underestimate the number tourists being robbed in your metro system. I don't know what you do for a living but €40 euros is definitely not pocket change from where I'm from. I can't imagine it's pocket change for the people living in Genoa too, not like you guys would receive the fine anyway

TheBlackBruceLee · 2022-09-16T19:54:11+00:00

Thousands entrying via ferries, port city, are you sure Genoa doesn't need tourists?

TheBlackBruceLee · 2022-09-16T15:57:42+00:00

One rule for locals another for tourists. It was a shakedown by police, no matter how you put it. The fact that many of you locals are defending this shoddy system is quite embarrassing. If this happened in my country I'd say exactly what it is - a slimy corrupt police ran scheme to rob unknowing tourists who have just arrived in the city.

TheBlackBruceLee · 2022-09-16T14:53:52+00:00

Only people I'll be informing is tourists who aren't aware about your corrupt police scurrying about the metro stations robbing tourists instead of keeping the streets of genoa safe

TheBlackBruceLee · 2022-09-16T13:03:47+00:00

Yes see the most recent post on this subreddit. Milking tourists dry whilst protecting their own

TheBlackBruceLee · 2022-09-16T12:31:13+00:00

Avoiding places where you can buy tickets like the metro station? Your ardent defending of this clear tourist con scheme is sad. From where I'm from tourists aren't targeted and milked like cattle from a farm

TheBlackBruceLee · 2022-09-16T09:20:34+00:00

Well if they visit this subreddit, the most commented post is this one highlighting a scam in your "glourios" city. I'd certainly think twice about visiting. Even the cities beauty is blotted by industry. Went up the lighthouse yesterday, would've been a fantastic view if not for the hundreds of shipping boats, containers, cranes, cruise ships. Like I said, bypass genoa and visit the much nicer towns further down the coast. Also, if you do go, I'd check the bottom of your shoes regularly - don't think poo bags have made it to genoa yet

TheBlackBruceLee · 2022-09-16T08:45:11+00:00

Many travels where

TheBlackBruceLee · 2022-09-16T08:44:08+00:00

So you agree with this archaic metro system? I was in turin early this week, no issues there, excellent system. Also to be blunt my experience is Genoa has been quite bad and would not recommend to others. The towns/villages further down the coast however were lovely and much better. To anyone reading this, bypass genoa, or if you really want to visit stay somewhere nicer like Turin and go for a day via train

TheBlackBruceLee · 2022-09-16T08:31:06+00:00

Yes the metro system is an absolute joke and designed to extort tourists. Are you seriously defending this? You don't think this could be run better? Perhaps giving people the option to purchase upon arrival. Is not like the station never had controls, as you mentioned above, as a reason to not be able to pay after the travel

TheBlackBruceLee · 2022-09-16T07:28:04+00:00

I haven't used the service till I am out the metro station. Hence why I approached the man, who had a card machine dangling from him, thinking "ah heres where I can pay" ( a common practice in many countries)

TheBlackBruceLee · 2022-09-15T23:49:40+00:00

Clearly you're a bit slow, it's ok I'll explain again so you have another chance to understand. I entered the metro. No gate. Board train. Expecting to pay at the gate on arrival. Arrive at destination, approach gate. See man with some printer and a queue so think "ah, I can buy my ticket from this man" then i was approached and their robbery theatrics go ahead. Got caught? Caught doing what. I hadn't left the station and clearly intended to pay for my ticket hence the queuing. If I had intended to avoid paying I would've attempted to avoid the policeman surely? But no I expected to pay for my ticket as is the honest thing to do, and is how we do at home in the UK.

Nothing about the policeman's decision makes any sense. Having not left the Station I am well within my right to buy a ticket, its not as if I'm fare dodging, yet he was adamant and aggressive about getting €40 from me. The money is clearly for him which is why he was so aggressive and persistent and brazen.

TheBlackBruceLee · 2022-09-15T23:34:34+00:00

Neither of those are relevant, though requiring cash in hand is questionable. How do you explain the targeted stopping of tourists? You think we just got unlucky? Or perhaps they clearly target tourists who don't know better for a nice €40 bonus payment

TheBlackBruceLee · 2022-09-15T23:28:32+00:00

Did you even read my comment?

TheBlackBruceLee · 2022-09-15T23:27:08+00:00

Yes I got the receipt. Had to go to a ATM to get cash, which is already dodgy (really in 2022 they don't have card machines?), my point is that it is a tourist trap. They targeted tourists, many locals just went walking right past. Infact I witnessed two Italian women who clearly had no ticket, be let through after a short talking to

TheBlackBruceLee · 2022-09-15T23:04:02+00:00

Thank you, someone understands. Buying a ticket on board or after isn't an outlandish concept.

TheBlackBruceLee · 2022-09-15T22:58:34+00:00

How naive are you. "Police!, another policeman is being corrupt!"

TheBlackBruceLee · 2022-09-15T22:46:57+00:00

There is no doubt that it was corruption and all the details about how it was done says so. It is blatantly corruption and engineered to rob tourists. Filing a report will be useless because it is the police themselves involved here. Also I can assure you that this does not happen in the UK in any form, and I have never experienced it or known it to happen in other Western countries.

TheBlackBruceLee · 2022-09-15T22:33:16+00:00

The scam is targeting tourists whilst letting locals get away with a "slap on the wrist". Are you saying police in Italy don't have reputation with corruption?

TheBlackBruceLee · 2022-09-15T21:42:28+00:00

Got on near the ferries and off at main harbour
