Questão jurídica principal
Whether the CHF 60 public transport surcharge was legally owed despite the passenger's mistake and short stay in Switzerland.
Decisão extraída
The surcharge was owed because no valid ticket was held; the reasons for the absence of a valid fare do not matter for the surcharge.
Fundamentação extraída
Art. 16 TG makes a surcharge payable whenever a traveler lacks a valid fare. It is an administrative fee to cover control costs, not a fine, so subjective fault or intent is irrelevant.
