Where's your ticket?

I haven't used the public transport for 17 years now mainly because it's damn unreliable and expensive. Plus the services have deteriorated over the years but they're still very harsh on people who try to ride using buying a ticket. They hired lots of inspectors to catch them but done away with the conductors to save a few bucks!

I took this photo one day at a traffic light and it seems like the inspectors have caught someone riding without a ticket. The passenger is frantically searching his bag for his ticket which I'm sure is not there as the 3 big burly inspectors stood over him.

The poor guy is just a kid and he must be shitting himself. I don't know what exactly happened that day but from what I saw it does look like 3 big white men thumbing 1 frightened black kid!
