STASY: The first smart camera at the ISAP "Perissos" station for those without a ticket
Where will the next ones go?
Following the "smart" AI traffic cameras on the roads, the Ministry of Infrastructure and Transport has begun a pilot to prevent ticket fraud on public transport. The first "smart" AI camera was placed above the ticket validation machines at the "Perissos" ISAP station .
The goal of installing the "smart" AI camera on the ISAP is to draw conclusions about the extent of ticket evasion, so that a more targeted control policy can be designed by STASY.
Furthermore, as part of the campaign against ticket fraud, fines have been tightened , increasing from 72 to 100 euros for a regular ticket , while for a reduced ticket from 30 to 50 euros.
At the same time, in cases of sabotage, such as the destruction of equipment at stations, ex officio prosecution is provided, while in incidents of violence against employees, ex officio criminal prosecution procedures are applied and the possibility of imposing community service, such as for damage restoration work.
The competent authorities emphasize that the emphasis of the AI camera is not on identifying people, but on statistically recording the points and time zones where increased ticket evasion is observed, in order to strengthen targeted controls.
