One of the cities I lived in for many many years was Vancouver, and they operated the Expo Skytrain line on the honour system for payments. Unfortunately their has been a lot of fare evasion and last I heard they were contemplating getting rid of the honour system to help them with the loss of revenue this is causing the transit system there. New York City installed full height gated entrances instead of just a turnstile at a subway station I used to use because a lot of transit users used to just jump the turnstile quite often instead of paying their fare to get on the subway. Fare evasion is a big problem for some cities I have lived in and I am sure Toronto will have problems with this as well because this system gets a higher percentage of its revenue from fares then many other systems I am familiar with. People in Vancouver I used to work with used to brag to me that they never paid for their Skytrain ride!
