Tyne and Wear Metro
Tyne and Wear Metro
(24 Feb 2014, 9:33 pm)Dan It's common of the majority of Metro Inspectors though, that's the thing. They're so eager to fine people, it's as if they're on commission for it or something. For me it's no longer just 'a couple of bad apples', it's the majority of them. Indeed a couple of my friends in school have compared Metro Inspectors to packs of wild dogs... wolves... hunting down prey. They bark when they walk onto the Metro, "Tickets and passes!" and rip them out of your hands if they look suspicious for one reason or another. I don't think I've ever seen them smile.
The Tyne & Wear Metro system is a joke. An embarrassment to the region.
