German Word of the Day!
Schwarzfahren- sshw-ARTS-fah-ren "black-riding"
To ride the city bus without paying for a ticket. I'm pretty sure everyone in Salzburg does this, but it is still frowned upon by civilized folk. Its easy to do because you don't have to show a ticket every time you get on a bus. BUT if you're caught by the random ticket control officers that are apparently out there, you can be fined 60-100 Euros! But hey, at 2.10 a ride, who wouldn't take that risk?
right, ...no risk no fun. ;)
