You can buy any ticket in cash at the automatic ticket machines. I don't think it's that, the government has enough cameras to track you in general, they don't really need ticket records.
- mschild 4y agoYeah, this would be about the most inefficient way to do it. You barely ever have to show your ticket. There are no gates that track where you are. You just walk into the train and go with it. Especially considering that tracking the general population by phone is much easier and efficient.
- weinzierl 4y agoAs TillE wrote, we don't even have gates in Germany. Passenger volume is measured by manual counting - for real. It's a typical job for students and for the retired. They count how many people are getting on and off the trains at every station. During the ride they ask volunteers about their point of departure, destination and type of ticket.
