Don't you hate it when you're on a train and think you've got away without paying and then the ticket collector comes through the door yelling 'tickets please' then they charge you.

nope, its stealing to not pay, i had to use a train the other week, the guard got nowhere near me, as i got off i walked along the platform till i spotted him, i reboarded and coughed up.
i must admit he looked surprised.

Instant 100chf (£60) fine if you're caught without a ticket here. If you can't pay it's a night in the cells no questions asked.

Not here you wouldn't. There is no nanny state health and safety mentality here. Punishment is punishment. And with a financial crime on your record you won't be accepted in many of the nicer communes (council areas) and will struggle to get any credit anywhere.
Just to put that into perspective, this is a very honest and trusting society, for example when I moved here and needed to furnish my apartment I went to the local tv shop not a large retail outlet, talked to the salesman who recommended a tv. I agreed to buy it expecting to pay on my credit card and he said "no, you live in a good area, we'll deliver it today and post the bill which you can pay at the post office within 30 days from when you receive it". It's the same everywhere, there is still shame in not being a good neighbough or upstanding member of the local community!
I prefer to contribute to society and pay to be honest.
But I must say, train companies are taking the piss with the ammount they charge for such a shit service, and at the same time the government are encouraging us to reduce our carbon footprint?! Also the service on some trains especially Sheffield-Manchester line is awful, often delayed and some of the trains look like a relic from the 1920s.
