In this country you're probably right. In others, however, I've seen quite a few trains where the driver collects the fare. Which country is this? I've travelled a bit and I've seen tram drivers collect fairs but never a train driver. B2003 |

I presume this is some local service and not the bullet train! B2003 It was a single car (bit like a 153 in the UK or RDC in the USA but probably lighter than either). Board at the front and pay. On a "level 3" (JR being 1 and the major independents like Kintetsu 2) railway in the Aso caldera on Kyushu (picture here http://goo.gl/maps/hyx4b ). I've seen it somewhere in Europe but I can't remember where. It may have been Denmark |
