"ACHTUNG: SCHWARZFAHRER"
So read a sign on the side of a bus I saw today. What a great word.
Schwarzfahrer literally means black rider; it is used to refer to a person who rides the train or bus without a ticket.
It's also the subject and title of this clever short film by Pepe Danquart that is set in Berlin and won the Oscar in 1993 for best short film.
The film, I cannot stop myself from adding, only very mildly exaggerates the behavior I discussed yesterday of middle-aged Berlin women on public transportation.

An empty, unloved, drowning old woman, tells about herself. Life is fun when one is inventive.
