In Germany, train conductors have been instructed not to check the tickets of foreign migrants in an effort to reduce violent and intimidating behavior from asylum seekers. This policy has been implemented in the state of Thuringia, allowing migrants to ride for free. The decision has sparked controversy, with some criticizing it as a capitulation to violent immigrants, while others see it as a necessary measure to maintain peace. Law-abiding Germans are concerned about the fairness of paying their own fares while migrants ride for free.
