Hey guys! I’ve been living here long enough and one thing I have noticed is that SBB ticket controllers get way too aggressive and too eager to issue a fine. If you’re just a salary person, as myself, I don’t really care as much generally. But these workers seem to be very incentivised to do their job well, I would even say too eager. So my theory is that is per fine (straff) issued, a controller gets either some percentage or a fixed amount of “bonus”. So if any of you know who works for SBB as a controller or worked themselves, could you please confirm or deny this theory? Would be grateful. One time a lady didn’t like me, even though I had a proper valid ticket she found a reason to issue a fine anyways, of course I then complained and got it resolved but it took me weeks. Just today another lady was checking the tickets and she perceived me to look nervous and she ran to me right away to check my ticket and kind of to catch me in act but ha ha, false positive 🤷♀️ submitted by /u/Latter_Struggle_153
