Bit of a discouragement to raising ridership, don't you think? This is why commuter rail stations must have proper fare gates!
which is to say--there is no possibility of using the service if you don't pay; no inspection you can avoid etc even just be being lucky

How often do the trains/metros come? In Berlin they come and go every 5 minutes [depends on line and S-Bahn different from U-Bahn)
-
Depends on the route--in major cities, up to every 2 minutes. More rural lines, where you'll likely pay at the door, can be as rare as 4/day

How fast is buying a ticket?
-
Assuming pay-at-door, you usually pay while exiting--pick up a ticket when you get on & an updating fare table tells u how much to pay
-
payment depends on distance traveled, so the ticket you get will just say where you boarded--the table shows payment based on boarding stop
-
So match the name on your ticket with the name on the board, and the fare will update as you move down the line
-
That's really cool

You can sorta see here (it only goes 1 stop, so only 1 slot on the board is filled in)https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ml1erSJu1Zo …
