London Bus Services Limited (aka Transport for London) routinely prosecute 700 people per week for fare evasion under the Public Service Vehicles Regulations 1990.
I applaud the crackdown on fare evasion, however the majority of these people that are prosecuted are not habitual criminals, they are normally fare paying passengers that have made an innocent error.
London Buses have a faceless and brainless system of unfair prosecution, if you give the inspector your correct name and address then you will probably receive a court summons within 6 months. This is the irony, you have to provide a valid name and address to be prosecuted! the really dishonest guys escape.
On this blog I will seek to offer advice as and when I have time to post. I urge you all to defend yourselves (because TfL certainly aren't expecting you to.)

- In October 2006 I was 20 pence short on the fare for a number 25 bus. I was prosecuted by TfL and defended myself. Charges were subsequently dropped. On this blog I hope to advise other wrongfully prosecuted passengers. Feel free to contact me using the email address link in my full profile.
