There Must Be a Way

Today I paid 13,60 EUR for a trip to Bonn and back. That's almost 20 USD, 12 GBP or 22000 KRW. That's at least two hours of bloody labor, or a new pair of used shoes on Ebay, or two jacket potatoes with meatballs and chilly, or two shirts at H&M on 70% sale, or two hours of karaoke action.

It's a whole lot of shit. Thirteen euros and sixty freaking cents. I bought a ticket for both fares, and both times nobody came to check them. You buy a ticket for 6,80 EUR, get in the train and forty minutes later it's worth no more than any other piece of shit paper, then you get off the train and throw it away.

And it's basically like throwing away cash, it's the same thing. It's messed up and it happened twice to me today. I mean, by not hiring a ticket collector they almost dare you to buy a ticket. Why exchange good money for a soon enough worthless ticket that nobody even collects? Exactly, it doesn't make any sense.

It's wrong and it pisses me off. It's a not thought through system. Now, Holunder would say 'Fuck the System, wenigstens ein Bisschen'. But there must be a better way. I'm thinking some borrowing, some taking pictures, some copying and some printing. There must be a way to get around that nonsense waste of money.
