Checks of tickets and prepaid tickets are carried out by fare inspectors commissioned by DPB a.s. to perform such control. The fare inspector must visibly bear ID card at all times.
The passenger is obliged to present a valid ticket or prepaid ticket, or in case of discounted ticket a document entitling the person to such discount, for control upon request from the fare inspector.
Shall the passenger prove to be unable to present himself with a valid ticket, the passenger is obliged to pay a fine amounting to 100x the rate of basic tariff either on the spot or by presenting to the inspector all the information necessary for requisition of the fine and fare. Shall the passenger refuse or be unable to present himself with the required personal data, he or she is obliged to undergo all steps necessary to obtain and verify his or her identity by the police.
The fine according to tariff in effect:
- payment of fine within 5 working days - 40,- EUR
- payment of fine from 6th to 30th calendar day - 50,- EUR
The fine can be paid:
- in the vehicle to the fare inspector - proof of payment of fine
- to the cashier at Olejkárska street No. 1 or Hodžovo square (underpass), no earlier than 48 hours in the working week
- bank transfer account no. 48009012/0200, variable symbol: fine no., description: name and surname
In case the passenger is a holder of valid prepaid ticket or a document entitling the holder to a discount, but is unable to present himself with such, he or she may present it (along with a valid ID) later in the cashier of DPB, a.s. After the presented documents are verified, the passenger is required to pay a processing fee of 5,- EUR.
In case the issued fine is not paid in the set amount within the set period, DPB a.s. enforces the claim through a solicitor, thus adding the solicitor’s fees to the amount due.
