If you use the national ID for it, the encumbrance is still there. Similar to what i mentioned about credit cards and free trials: even people with credit cards

For truly massive use being free and unregulated for the user is great. For the compnay, however, that could report they had "20 million visitors today" and ask for more funding for that.
Maybe im too cynical, but it happens. I still suspect the bus lines as the reason why coins are in shortage since 2007, when coins started to be valued more for their mint value than their nominal one.
Charging people means the bus company has to be able to account for it with money (say, we had 1000 passanger, so 1000 fares income), so it is itself a tool for regulation.

But its not there if you use driver-operated counters combined with random audits against the already-present in-vehicle surveillance cameras. Or, probably any of large number of other alternatives that don't rely on the rider carrying a payment/identity/etc. card to get the free ride.
