Bad Luck: Caught without ticket on TRAM 5 in Amsterdam
Yesterday I hopped into Tram 5 at Leidseplein to drive to one of the fanciest free toilets in town located in the legendary Bijenkorf shopping-center.
As I was leaving the TRAM people in blue clothes stopped me. GVB employees, security, around 10 in total.
I had no ticket so I had to drive with them to Central Station.
They took my ID credentials and told me that I must pay within 14 days and that otherwise 50 Euro will be added.
If I will not pay, 2 days of jail will follow.
It all began with waking up. I slept outside 'in a garden of a friend' and needed the bathroom really quickly.
I had no money and at 10 in the morning it was difficult to find any listeners.
The shops mostly want that you buy a coffee in order to use the bathroom.
There is no conductor in TRAM 5 because it's an old model and not as broad as the newer waggons.
Everyone knows that it's the 'free line' and that it is extremely rare to get checked.
Well this time it happened. Please help me to cover the costs of the fine by voting for this post. My income is so small, I really need help.
Thank you,

Absolutely crazy, thx!!
I was the whole day busy and only now can use the internet. I met super friendly Italians, father and son, many more people, and I told many about steemit. Maybe I can buy some shoes now as well
upvoted, resteemed and chat blasted!! Be well and be safe , @shla-rafia!!
Big THX! Am so happy!
Tomorrow I can exchange to cash. Would be nice to find someone in Amsterdam who would accept Steem Dollar. Converting to bitcoin now, maybe with blocktrades because you voted for me.
