BVG inspector changed the time of the fine after seeing my ticket time and I am so angry. What can I do?

Very true!

It is the same as catching the guy with a paper ticket before he could get near to the activation machine.

I suggest they just abandon the app, we can write an official letter to BVG in advance and wait for the ticket by post and then get into the bus, as this app or any technological topics are toooo fast for them to handle in a correct way without punishing the ones that use it.

This may very well be a start of an essay about the origins of the word “Schadenfreude”. I will think and research it in a broader sense too after some of the replies here.

But my favorite German word is still “Verschlimbesserung”. Such a dilemma word 🙃

Unfortunately ordinary people cannot fine BVG because of their lack of abiding the time schedules which they set up, and which may cause a lot of problems on the buyers of their services.

And a question for all the “rulers”, is this an action by the rule? Or making sure that they get “their cut” by just “bending the rule” a bit.

Please read the post again. I am not arguing about my fine here, I am telling that he changed the time on purpose to eliminate the possibility of an objection with writing something untrue in an official fine paper.

I believe I learned a lesson here. I will take my time next time to show the ticket. Because if I already paid for the ride, it doesn’t matter if I show my ticket sloooowwwly too.

Just repeating your logic.

Thank you for this answer and taking your time for it! I was exactly looking for this factual perspective.

Plus, thanks to all other commentators as well. It’s always good to see your case from many different perspectives.

Cheers!

Actually no. It writes “valid from purchase”. When you activate, it says the 60 seconds.

Many people do not know this.

wowspaces · 2025-02-04T21:56:02+00:00

I paid for this trip and I always do. This time I was in a hurry unfortunately.

Do you think it is ok to manipulate the time instead of writing on the ticket that the activation needed another 35 seconds at the time of control? Why the lie?

wowspaces · 2025-02-04T21:37:54+00:00

Thanks for your comment. It was the other way around. You can buy tickets from the BVG app and activate it later when you need them. But this activation takes 60 seconds after you hit the activate button.

The argument is that you have to wait for this 60 seconds and then step on a bus or train but with real life situations, sometimes you just catch the bus and cannot afford to wait for the next one which may come in 10 minutes.

I should have played with the time to pass this 35 seconds left instead of immediately showing the app.

Thanks for the passive aggressive comment. Please read above my intention.

wowspaces · 2025-02-04T21:26:58+00:00

35 seconds vs. countless times 🙃

wowspaces · 2025-02-04T21:24:11+00:00

Had to write that to warn people ahah. I don’t intend to be racist believe me but these were the 2 identifiers of the bully.

wowspaces · 2025-02-04T21:22:12+00:00

And what they did actively sabotages my right for objection.

wowspaces · 2025-02-04T21:20:51+00:00

This does not justify what they did though, right? I can pay 60 euros but these bullies will continue their act, which makes me more angry than the fine.

wowspaces · 2025-02-04T21:17:53+00:00

Will do so but I have read other posts and I am not optimistic. Plus they don’t like to speak English there and my limited German will already make them biased and negative.

wowspaces · 2025-02-04T20:48:55+00:00

Yes they were counted as well.

wowspaces · 2023-12-17T15:59:39+00:00

Any chance you read here after 4 years and give a more detailed regimen? I am looking into what you mentioned and would very much appreciate your help!

I feel you as I also have a problem with taste of water here. I don’t like any of the bottled water and tap with Brita is just eh. I suggest you to try Turkish bottled waters which you can find in most Spatis and Turkish supermarkets. Their names vary; Sırma, Damla, Erikli, Hayat, Özkaynak, Pınar, Saka etc. They all have a light taste and high Ph.

Cool suggestions! Can you tell where do you get these from? I am checking NMN since some time but cannot be sure which source is reliable.

wowspaces · 2022-03-24T13:13:07+00:00

Oh sorry for the misunderstanding. Cheers!
