The Last Train

Do you add the stranger to your pass?

The Last Train

You have a rail pass that lets one guest travel free. On the last train home, a stranger says the ticket machine took their money but gave no ticket. The inspector is coming. Lending your guest pass breaks the rules and could get both of you fined.

Do you add the stranger to your pass?

Then ask

  • Would you help if you doubted their story?
  • What if the fine would leave you short on rent?
  • Does an unfair rule make breaking it fair?

The classics and some new ones. A scenario, the question it forces, and the follow-ups that make it bite.
