The issue is : he is technically speaking: he is an adult and not some little boy.

If he's adult enough to go out drinking - he's adult enough to deal with ensuring he has the correct ticket for his journey on public transport, he's adult enough to realise he was in the wrong, he's adult enough to follow instructions and being asked to remove himself from the train when he knew fine well he did not have the correct ticket and he's adult enough not to lie about having the right ticket, when he admitted to his father - he didn't.
