Tickets are a relic of the past as a workaround because managing the (back-then exclusively physical) money at each fare collection point was impractical. Nowadays money is no longer physical for the vast majority of users (instead cards/phones are used), so there is no need for tickets anymore as managing an EMV transaction is just as easy as some internal ticketing operation (in both cases you'd need a network-connected computer).
