20 Years of KORIDU! Topic: Ticket Inspectors
19. 9. 2025
Important work that isn't immediately apparent
For 20 years, KORID LK has been ensuring that our public transportation system operates reliably and fairly for everyone. Our fare inspectors play a key role in this, and their work is by no means limited to checking tickets. Their daily activities are one of the pillars that ensure the entire IDOL system functions effectively and at a very high standard.
The work of ticket inspectors in the IDOL system focuses on many other important activities that directly impact the quality of your travel experience. They monitor compliance with transportation quality standards, through which we strive to ensure that every trip is the best it can be for you. They monitor adherence to schedules, the condition of the fleet, and the proper deployment of vehicles. They are also an integral part of the Central Dispatch team, which oversees the smooth operation of the entire system.
Inspections and Their Results for 2024
Our inspectors conduct regular inspections on buses and trains across all key transport operators, including public transit in Jablonec nad Nisou. In 2024, they conducted a total of 4,403 fare inspections, which demonstrates that KORID LK strives to maintain the highest possible quality of transportation in the region.
Fines totaling 334,500 CZK were issued in 2024 for invalid fares, representing a significant increase compared to the previous year.
Ticket inspections have been modernized. We have expanded our team and are conducting more inspections. In addition, we have introduced new equipment that allows us to process all payment card transactions on the spot.
It is important to note that our goal is not to issue as many fines as possible. On the contrary, our primary goal is to continuously improve quality in cooperation with transit operators. Any shortcomings, such as malfunctioning information panels or invalid fare schedules, are recorded, and transport operators must rectify them within a specified timeframe.
Thanks to this daily work, the IDOL system is one you can rely on. Do you have any suggestions or observations that could help improve the quality of public transportation? Please don’t hesitate to contact us at info@korid.cz or call the dispatch center at 704 702 000.
