Penalty fare

Hi, sweetie! Have you ever heard of a penalty fare? It's a special kind of fee you have to pay if you break the rules on public transportation.

Let's say you're riding on a train and you don't have a ticket. That's against the rules! If a conductor notices, they might give you a penalty fare. That means you have to pay some extra money, usually more than the cost of a regular ticket, as a punishment.

It's important to follow the rules on public transportation because it keeps everyone safe and makes sure the system can keep running smoothly. If you do get a penalty fare, don't worry too much - just make sure you pay it off and follow the rules in the future!
