I was using a bus pass a friend bought for me, he is a student.
I’ve been using this bus pass for months, her pictures been on the pass, no issue. I’ve not had an issue to be bothered.
Only yesterday, a bus driver asked for my id card.
I was like, for? Because it was a gift and more so, his picture was on the ticket all this while and no bus driver asked.
Well, if you know these bus drivers, they can be unruly
I was worried, I called customer service and she asked for the email address on the account. The woman started saying that, it’s fraudulent. I said how, when we had the option to gift. The woman said, if I should have any issues, I should come to their office.
I can pay for the full ticket if need be, that’s not my issue, I genuinely think anything of it since we had the option to gift.
My issue, is, now, what would you advise I do next? Would I be prosecuted? Would I be called in? I have deleted my account, so I can lose that ticket. And I have regained the account, so I have no active ticket.
But I’m thinking that, if that’s their angle, I won’t argue with them anymore, if they need me to pay anything, I will pay. Just confused how it’s a gift, and it’s a crime.
Will they be able to knock on my door? Would they track me down with my email address? My head is just spinning in different directions.
I would really appreciate any response.
Thank you
