Validating an adult fare on the Rav-Kav as repayment for a student ride.
Question
I owe a public transportation company for a ride that I didn’t have money on my Rav-Kav to pay for. But I have a student profile, and I can’t validate twice in one ride (or transfer). Can I make it up to them by validating with an adult fare, or would that be considered ribbis (interest)?
Answer
Shalom uVracha,
There is no prohibition of ribbis in this case.
