The public transit system here seems to run on the honor system. I've never seen anyone asked to show a ticket, yet I see people buying passes or stamping their tickets all the time. And there are no gates around the train entrances that require a ticket to get through. Rather, people are free to walk right past the ticket stamp machines, into the boarding area, and onto the train. Same for trams and buses.
That system would be horribly abused in the States.

What arae the penalties if they're caught? Seems like maybe they are pretty stiff?
The equivalent of maybe a hundred dollars. I've never seen any officials checking for passes, though.
