<human>: Last month I was waiting for my train from my home to the city. The ticket machine at my train station is an old crappy one that accepts coins only. I had a $20 note. I did go through my room searching for the correct change but could not find it. The closest store to me is a 10 minute walk from the train station. I am unemployed and I believe paying $3.45 for a coke or something that I did not want, just so I would have correct change to buy a train ticket was not worth it. According to the train ticket laws, if you do not have correct change you must take reasonable steps to find money for the ticket. Being unemployed and trying to diet I do not believe buying some junk food I wont eat is reasonable.

I jumped on the train and there were 4 ticket inspectors, the door closed behind me and I approached them and said "hey I do not have a ticket because the machine does not take notes, I only have a $20. can i buy a zone 1 and 2 daily concession please". the ticket inspector said "no, you have to speak to the train conductor and there is not one on here". I said "oh ok, I will buy one when I get to the main station". I sat down, then 30 seconds later the ticket inspector approached me and wrote me out a fine. 

Reddit what should I do? I had the money to buy the ticket, I didn't find walking 10 minutes to the other side of my town to buy something I wouldnt eat or drink reasonable and I did the right thing by talking to the ticket inspector and telling him that I didn't have a ticket and I wanted to buy one. But I still got a fine. I am going to challenge it, and if it does go to court I will be there. The ticket inspector was extremely rude while writing out the report, and I do not believe that he is going to write the correct story on there. it will be my word vs his. Help?

Can you provide a brief rundown of the text in within 3 sentences?
<bot>: My train ticket machine is outdated and only accepts coins, I had a $20 note. Jumped on train, talked to ticket inspector asking to buy a ticket, he said no and then gave me a $180 fine.
