    By‑law 6(c) applies to boarding without having first obtained a ticket and is distinct from By‑law 10 which deals with expired tickets and surcharges; the prosecution failed to prove beyond reasonable doubt that the ticket had expired because reliance on officers' watches without verification against the point‑of‑issue clock was insufficient, therefore the conviction under By‑law 6(c) could not stand.
