在德国的遭遇

去年11月我们从美国一家5口搬到德国东部的一个城市，暂住两年。刚到感觉还不错，又赶上圣诞节，啤酒加面包，美滋滋的，憧憬着未来的两年。1月4号刚过完新年，我坐公车带着4岁的小女儿去接老大和老二，在还有两站就到他们学校的时候，上来查票的，我拿出票，给那个人看，他指着上面的一排数，说着一句不懂得德文，但意思明白了，我的月票3号作废，我跟他讲，上面的Dez6我以为是12月6号，在美国月的后面是日子呀。倒霉!疏忽，那时刚搬到美国就别扭了一段时间，我们中国是年月日，他们美国是月日年，现在德国是日月年，乱! 接着说，那个人管我要护照，我没带，他说要去警察局，我跟他说，我可不可以先接孩子，他说no先警察局，也跟他说不清，就去了。到了警察局，和他们还是说不清，有一个警察能说几句，他说要起诉我，因为我上车没交钱。我说不会这么严重吧，我又不是故意这样做，第一次打月票坐公车，每月要花110欧的月票钱，我为什么非要躲这么一两天让你们抓着，他说，那是你的事，我们还是要起诉你，这时已经过了接孩子的时间大概1个小时，，警察说我们带你去接孩子，然后再去你家看护照，这样我们就上了警车，今生头一次。小女儿的一句话把我给逗乐了，她说I don't want to go to jail.到了女儿的学校，找到站在寒风中等了我1个小时的女儿，眼泪再也忍不住了，从来没让孩子等过，为什么他们德国人(某些)如此的狠心...还不知将等待我的是什么?上法庭?坐牢?可笑又可恨!本人决定不再支持德国的公交了，我们有一辆车我早上送完孩子送老公，晚上接完孩子再接老公一点都不嫌麻烦， 我喜欢开车。谢谢各位倾听!

[前路漫漫]

Hi, i have experienced same as you. I bought a monthly ticket in Stuttgart and i did no understand the rule well and it was already 2 weeks over, i can use only another 2 weeks.
But i don't know it, and i took the bus and was caught.

Then of course i need to explain and i do not want to let me labelled as black bus taker.

I guess because i can speak German rather well and then they write done something and they left me. Actually i have not even understood whether i need to pay for the punishment or not.

The next two days i went to the bus office and want to pay for my fault at 40 Euro. And then i was told because it was the first time and i do have paide monthy for the whole month, they have seen the stample, so i was free of the punishment.

Actually i was very happy for this suprise. 40 Euro is quite a big burden for a studen.
