Determined to get home, Paul ventured through the dense wetland vegetation.Hours later, he reached a small port town. He noticed a launch departing soon and asked if he could board the vessel heading to the mainland. Luckily, they let him on board for a small fare. Finally arriving on land, he thanked the crew and hurried to the rail network station nearby.Once at the station, Paul noticed he’d just missed a train and saw a delay on the next one, so he waited in the waiting room. Listening for travel updates, he checked the platform number and held his contactless card ready for the ticket inspector. When the train finally arrived, he boarded quickly, anxious to reach his destination.

Fare inspector = ticket inspector

Fare inspector ≠ticket inspector
