The RATP pays part of the revenue from fines to the agents who carry out the violations. “We can have between 15 and 30 offenses per day.

And of these, between 20 and 40% are paid immediately,” explains an RATp agent anonymously. According to several employees interviewed, it is however difficult to establish an average of this bonus, as the geographical area and the time of day influence the amounts received. The officers who issue tickets receive, each month, 10% of the overall revenue from the fines.
