It doesn't say you cannot seek recourse.

Legal system in China is weak and probably doesn't have enough capacity to handle such large volume of court fights. Any major city in China can have tens of millions of people.
TBH I think restriction on taking high-speed transportation is quite genius, better than fine, and only China is able to do that because there's no boundary between public sector and government there. Fine can be easily got over by rich people, and may incentivize over-enforcement.
Government and laws in China is fundamentally different from Western ones, also quite different from those depicted in Western fictions about authoritarianism. Don't blindly assume government can impose whatever they want onto the people, social unrest can cause disaster and CCP doesn't have another party to blame.
