In Germany they have Kontrollieren who come through the buses and check all the passengers. The frequency varies from line to line, but you generally won't be allowed to get away with not paying for long. I have no doubt that if they weren't there, fare evasion would be high even in Germany (and this isn't a recent thing--my experience is from 2003).

I’m also surprised that Kontrollieren can fit on the busses - during peak hours, busy bus routes generally are standing room only. On the other end of the spectrum, Istanbul has turnstiles at bus stops, just like a subway.
