Power hungry traffic controllers, taking advantage
I took the 31 bus/ zone 1 with my girlfriend and asked her to check me in because I thought my card was empty. I got on first because I had our small puppy in my bag and my girlfriend followed behind me checking me in. She asked the bus driver where she could check me in and he told her to speak to the guys in the back of the bus, which we came to find out were two traffic controllers. The bus took off from the stop and when they came up to us, we told them that we were looking for the machine to check me in and that the bus driver said to speak to them. They then proceeded to write us a ticket and didn't want to hear anything from us. When I asked what it was for and tried to explain to them the situation, they ignored me. They ended up writing both of us a ticket, even though my girlfriend actually checked herself in. I believe the bus driver was negligent for not assisting my girlfriend's question and the traffic controllers were just only interested in writing tickets. They were disrespectful, power hungry and I had the feeling that I was targeted. I felt powerless and devastated that these are people Movia would hire.
