Averixus

Good morning. Today I got a very interesting response to a freedom of information request from Transport for Wales.

They pay almost £800,000 per year to an external contractor for "revenue protection" (which means enforcing ticket fines).

They earn ~£80,000 per year from ticket fines and penalty fares.

Which means they're paying ten times what they're making back from this process.
