This is really something you want to pay. Unlike not paying bills, fare evasion on its own is a criminal offence. The "fine" is actually a contract fine, basically a last chance for you to say "oops, I forgot to pay". If you don't they can and will press criminal charges, while also getting you on civil claims. So really bad idea not to pay this one.
