While she was on the ground, people laughed at her, complained about her, and recorded videos of her that went viral on social media.

These new anti-burglar gates, floor-to-ceiling turnstiles, and constant surveillance by authorities have led to a decrease in the percentage of people sneaking in, from 28.5% in 2022 to 15.32% in 2023.

But some people will never know. That’s the story of a woman who got stuck under a gate at one of the entrances this week.

This happened after she refused to pay her fare, which the mayor stated was the estimated annual cost of the city’s public transportation system.

As the woman tried to escape, she was laughed at, complained about, and, unfortunately, recorded. The footage quickly went viral on social media.

According to the Metro User Guide, anyone who fails to pay for their fare, validation, ticket, or any other method of accessing the service must pay a Type 2 fine.

This provision aligns with the National Police and Coexistence Code regulations outlined in the Law. Anyone who has been reprimanded more than once may have their card revoked and may be subject to certain benefits being suspended for up to six months.

The number of people skipping the metro queue has been reduced by almost half.

Here are some exceptions and recommendations for paying for metro travel.

Only buy a card or payment method at places where they are sold.

All users must enter the stations or buses of the System with their cards. If the authorities verify that payment has not been made, the user will be removed from the System.

The police can get the entire System for free. They must wear the correct uniform and register upon entering.

Children under two years old are entitled to free travel, but they must travel in their car or accompanied by an adult. The benefits and/or subsidies for using the SystemSystem provided by the card with your name and personal information are for your use. If you misuse your card, you may lose these benefits.

No collection staff is authorized to sell tickets. Please do not buy tickets from any other vendors than authorized sellers.

Before leaving the ticket office or top-up point, check your card balance and exchange rate.

Please note that you can only access the System through the access turnstiles and must validate your ticket with your card.
