Helsinki Regional Transport Authority (HSL) is increasing the number of plainclothes ticket inspectors.

Inspections conducted in civilian clothing catch nearly twice as many fare evaders as those carried out by their colleagues in their easily identifiable blue uniforms.

HSL plans to increase this to five percent of its inspections in civilian clothes this year .

The primary goal is deterrence rather than maximising fines.
