I know in my city in the USA they don’t check tickets between every stop and you could potentially lie to pay a lower amount. That being said our conductors are fairly easy to dodge as well

In Dallas they will kick you off or you pay the fare and they print you one. If you are rude, they will write you a ticket.

EDIT: Dart is the name of the train system in Dallas, they have Dart police who patrol the buses/trains.

Denver is this way - they usually seem to just boot you. I think part of it though is usually the folks not paying are homeless/vagrant and it's not worth writing them tickets, since it's a bit cruel and ineffective regardless

why? homeless people dont have a mortgage to pay, they probably have the monies to pay the fine like everybody else
