In the Czech republic there were actually plain clothes officers that would discreetly flash their badge at you and make you show your proof of fare while on the tram. Made it quite a bit sneakier than in North America cause you literally could not see them coming.

Other places did have turnstiles, turnstiles that wouldn't open without swiping a valid ticket. Obviously that would be a huge infrastructure problem as we don't have the right equipment for that.
