GO 10-ride tickets are well known for often stamping 11 times.
In Nurnberg, Germany their city trains are completely on the honour system. There is a box to buy your ticket, and then off your go. I saw one inspector checking tickets perhaps one time that entire week.

The TTC is investigating putting in POP on all streetcar and Transit City routes as part of a study this spring.
Sorry about being pedantic, but...
That's not really the honour system, that's the POP system. If there's any chance that you might face any form of punishment (such as a fine) for not paying, then it's not on your honour.
Anyway, POP is standard for most of continental Europe.
POP = honour system... they're interchangeable terms. GO is considered honour system.
The literature on the subject of fare systems I have read considers them different. I believe there are a few small systems in the world that work on the honour system, everyone else is POP.
Like I said, if there's any chance that you might face any form of punishment (such as a fine) for not paying, then it's not on your honour, is it?
If there's no chance that you might face any form of punishment for not paying, then there is no fare system at all, period. It's not honour system, it's a systemless system. You pay a fare because it's required, not voluntary. POP is the honour system, because you are very seldom checked - all the times you pay and are not checked, to GO/Viva you've paid on your honour. I don't know what literature would refer to any system that has absolute zero chance of punishment for not paying a fare as a valid fare system. That's a donation, not a fare.
So, what are you implying? Mine lasts for months!Many people by 10 ride tickets and "somehow" they last for three weeks.
