I've been on light rail like that, but I don't think I've ever seen a metro system with ticket inspectors though. I would be fine with that kind of system on our regional rail. Our system is kind of already set up for it. Maybe even buses and trolleys if we have a redesign. But we'd need to actually have the inspectors and enforce the fines.

Central Europe allows you to use public transportation without checking your tickets (Germany, the Czech Republic, Slovakia) but in places like Hungary you WILL find random people checking your tickets at any point. Usually once the train leaves and if you were not honest with your subway ride, be ready to pay a good fine.
