Statement of irregularity and ticket purchased on board the train
> Read more
Have you boarded the train without a valid ticket and have you received a card from the train manager asking you to regularise your situation? Why? How can you avoid this? Here are some answers to your questions.
Occasional travelers:
If, for whatever reason, you fail to present a valid ticket on board, the train manager will give you a card requesting you to pay your ticket after the journey for a fixed price of € 90. After receiving this card, you can continue your journey. The penalty amount must be paid online, at the ticket vending machines or at the ticket office of your choice within 14 calendar days (including the date when the event happened). If you pay within this period, you will avoid an administrative fine of maximum € 500.
Frequent travelers:
The train manager will give you a card requesting you to pay your ticket after the journey for a fixed price of € 90. Then you have 14 calendar days (including the date when the event happened) to go to the ticket office of your choice with your season ticket/railcard which was valid on the day of travel, and the Penalty Fare Notice will be cancelled. You can also contact Customer Service via the online contact form. Please mention your regularization number, as well as the subscription / MoBIB card number and the route.
You can always contact Customer Service if you feel that there were legitimate reasons why you could not present a valid ticket. You can also contest your fine directly with our chatbot Mobi via Messenger or via WhatsApp (say for example “I want to contest my fine”).
To avoid paying any extra, buy your ticket ahead of time from our multiple sales channels.
