Tolong Pandang Belakang! (Please watch your back)

Sometimes ago, I wrote about commuters who did not buy ticket for their train ride, and they followed you closely from the back. As you about to pass, they followed on and they saved the money! Usually this happen when you did not pandang belakang (watch your back)! Lately, I am very concious and always pandang belakang, to make ensure so no si-celaka follow me for a free ride. That was few months back.

Few days ago, these people has another trick. The traveled in pair now, one of them with a valid weekly ticket. It works like this, 2 of them stand next to each other on the gated entrance. One will slot the ticket pass thru and collect the ticket. Then he will hand the ticket to his/her friend, and then slot in and pass through. Ka-Ching system was beaten! Who to blame? The kiasus or the gated system? I guess the system needs to be smart enough to tackle all these joy rider! So now not only pandang belakang but pandah to your sebelah! (Watch your side)
