No, but right now anybody found to be "loitering" at a downtown LRT station can now say "oh, I'm just waiting for the train." Same as all the dealers hanging out by Crack Mac's.
Now police have reason to ask for a ticket, and then ask to see ID.
Is this the ultimate solution? No. But it's a step in the right direction.
As for the 3% number that CT thinks isn't paying- I don't see that. I don't take the train often, but the last time I was checked was on an empty car at Anderson back in 1993. And I know of people who take it daily and say it is cheaper to risk the $250 ticket as they haven't been checked in years either.
