Yet somehow Swiss trains are on time (less than 3 minutes late) over 93% of the time and over 98% of connections are made. [1] Nothing is 100% reliable but you work around this just like you install multiple network switches in a DC because one might just fail. BTW, did you know that the SBB estimates around 10% of riders have an invalid, incorrect or just no ticket? This is however a percentage at which trying to crack down more the costs would outway the recovery in lost tickets. They realized that you can never have 100%, therefore turn styles and one way doors aren't a thing at Swiss train track. They randomly check tickets but there isn't a check at the door. You are responsible to make sure you have the right ticket.
