In the town I live (Nice, FR) the drivers don't enforce fares. You can completely bypass them and they won't look twice at you. However, there are "control" squads, basically a large group of +6 feet guys in uniform that will randomly hop on tramways, trains, buses and do ticket checks.

> +6 feet guys in uniform that will randomly hop on tramways I know I'm adding nothing to the discussion, but I couldn't stop myself from giggling at alternative interpretations of this fragment.

  I'm not familiar at all with the imperial system (as you can guess), but I tried to make it more accessible to HN Edit: Ohhh now I get it :D

        No no, they don't have extra legs, just more feet randomly on their body.

Exactly the same in Lyon but the control squads are more around 5'6. Edit: a ticket is around 2€ and can be used for an hour as much as you want, and then you can finish the last "trip" you started in the hour. The fine for not having a ticket validated is 60€.
