Conductors arrested in Budapest


Four conductor in the Budapest metro has been arrested today.
Police looked for the conductors for days now to catch them in action.
They were asked foreign tourists to pay fines to them, without any receipt/invoice, or give sold them fake tickets for high prices.

Police caught the conductors as they fined two foreign tourist for 6000 forints and as the tourists did not have only 5000, they took the money.

It is an ongoing problem in Budapest that conductors on underground,tram,buses did not speak languages and sometime they ask fake fines tourists. And if someone do not want to pay they go rude.
The Budapest Transport Co is using CCTV cameras and security stuff to keep the transit system safe both for passengers and employees.
Visitors,travellers should have to report all problem to local police station or their country's embassy in Budapest.
