In the situation of failure of all validators for paper tickets or in the case of unreadability of the validator stamp on a paper ticket the passenger, having informed the vehicle driver of the fact, can continue the ride based on a paper ticket marked by the driver. If all validators for e-tickets have failed, having informed the vehicle driver of the fact, the passenger can continue the journey based on the ticket or funds in the Transport GZ system;

The presentation of an electronic ticket in a mobile application is performed only and exclusively by means of this application.

3. In the cases, referred to in sub-para 4, inspectors collect an additional charge and the proper fare, hereinafter referred to as ‘transport charge’, or issue a report-call for payment. The report-call for payment replaces a ticket and entitles to continue the ride in a given vehicle till the end of the given journey.
4. The additional charge and the transport charge shall be imposed for travelling without a document entitling to free or concessionary transport, except for the situation described in sub-para 2, or without an appropriate transport document, which in particular is understood as travelling:

9) with a paper ‘24h + Railway’ ticket, used by another person than that, whose name and surname is printed on the ticket,

15) with a ticket withdrawn from circulation, subject to § 13 sub-para 3 and 4.
5. The amount of the additional charge, referred to in sub-para 3, is specified in the Price List. The Price List, subject to sub-para 6, also specifies the reduction of the additional charge if:
1) it is paid on site to the inspector,
2) it is paid within 14 days, counting from the date of its issuance,
3) if the ride without a valid transport document was carried out up to 3 days from the expiry date of the last personal ticket; the condition to reduce the charge consists in having continuity of purchasing personal, long-term tickets or METROTICKETS, the continuity is understood as a situation, where within recent 6 months before charging the additional charge, the total period of such tickets’ validity was at least 170 days,
4) if the passenger with a single-ride/short-term ticket: ‘20 minutes’, ‘40 minutes’, or ‘90 minutes’ ticket was travelling longer than the time specified in the Tariff, where the maximum exceeding of the time cannot last longer than 10% of the ticket validity, i.e., 2, 4, or 9 minutes, respectively; in such a case on the confirmation of the additional charge the inspector marks a relevant note,
5) if the passenger within 14 days, counting from the date of the additional charge issuance, buys for his/her personal account in the Transport GZM application a ‘Network 180’ ticket, which validity starts on the date of purchase.
6. The amount of the additional charge, referred to in sub-para 5 (3-5), is reduced, when the passenger does not have other liabilities to the ZTM due to unpaid additional charges, and within 14 days of its issuance will show up at a POP and will apply for the additional charge reduction, and with the application he/she will present a document confirming the payment of a reduced charge or will pay it on site in a POP.
7. For causing, without a justified reason, a stop or a change of vehicle’s route, the passenger shall pay an additional charge, which amount is specified in the Price List.

1) A document confirming the entitlement to free or concessionary travel,
2) a valid transport document, i.e.:
a) a user’s identifier linked with his/her personal account or a mobile application (including the Transport GZM application with a personal account) with a saved electronic medium-term, long-term ticket, or a METROTICKET, purchased before the inspection start, which validity period comprised the date or date and time of the inspection and was valid for travelling in the given vehicle,
b) a paper ‘24h + Railway’ ticket, purchased before the inspection start, which validity period covered the date and time of inspection, and contains passenger’s name and surname,
c) the ticket, referred to in § 2 sub-para 4 and 5, containing passenger’s name and surname, which, in the case of monthly or longer tickets, specified in § 2 sub-para 4 (1-3 and 5) and § 2 sub-para 5, covered by its validity period the date of inspection, and in the case of tickets specified in § 2 sub-para 4 (4) the date and time of inspection and was valid for travelling in the given vehicle, and was purchased before the inspection start.
9. Irrespective of the mode specified in sub-para 8, the traveller can submit a claim related to the issued call for payment, pursuant to rules resulting from separate regulations. The filing of the claim by the passenger does not stop the course of dates related to the necessity to pay the additional charge and the fare by the passenger. The payment of the amount due by the passenger does not stop the consideration of the filed claim. The claims against the imposed additional charges are not considered, if three months have passed from the date of the additional charge issuance to the date of claim filing.
10. The additional charge and the transport charge is returned, and in the case of the call for payment - remitted, if during the clarification actions it turns out that the lack of ticket validation or its unreadable or erroneous validation was caused by the improper operation of the equipment installed in vehicles or resulted from a failure of mobile applications (does not apply to a failure of passenger’s device).
