I mean I have a feeling a large portion of people don't pay for tickets every single day. If I didn't have a pass from the university I wouldn't either, cheaper to just risk it and pay the fine. If people started fearing getting caught the revenue from people paying for tickets would go up substantially or they'd stop riding altogether. I ride on what must be the busiest trains of the day and there has never been one person checking for tickets, even standing on the platform or something checking wouldn't cost that much. pay someone 20$/hour to stand there and check and you'd definitely get that money back in return. just put them at the 3 or 4 busiest platforms around the city.
