She really did have a transfer but it blew away from her walking from the bus to the train. She vowed that she wouldn't be paying a dime to take the transit from then on in retaliation which I advised wasn't really a smart thing to do but she still does it.

Would they arrest somebody for not having a ticket twice? Do the transit cops have a list they carry around? This person is recently arrived from the U.S. and I'm worried she might have been beligerent or something because she has a very...American attitude about fighting with the police and claiming racial prejudice, etc. due to her experiences there and doesn't really realize that it's not quite the same here.
I didn't know that either. I thought you'd just get multiple tickets like speeding. But it might have to do with her attitude in court?

Her argument is stupid. If you have a transfer and it blew away then that sucks. What next, Flames let people into the Saddledome without tickets?
