I have 3 days of class left - 2 RER tix/day.....been using the half-price tickets even though you have to be a kid or have a card that qualifies you. Today I got stopped by the police. Fortunately I'd been rehearsing my speech for just this occasion.
I'm a student, here's my student card. No, it's no good. But don't students get discounts? No, it's no good. Hmmm, not a great conversationalist. You pay 25 euros. Uh, ok, how do I do that? (as I'm on the train platform, no ATM) Do you take cards? Yes. Dammito! Then another one of the 15 police comes over, they have an exchange in which I catch that I'm American and I've given a lame excuse. :D BUT, the outcome: You go buy another ticket and no fine. YAY!!! Only now I have 7 tickets that I can't use, and I have 6 more times to ride the train. That's 10 euros! Oh well, better than 25.
