Paying Light Rail Fares?
I live in New Jersey and I have ridden the Riverline, a light rail from Trenton to Camden and the Newark Lightrail from Bloomfield to Newark Penn Station.
On the Riverline ticket police will come on the train and look at everyone's ticket, those riding and those getting off at a particular station. They are not on all trains but you see them fairly often.
On the Newark Lightrail I have never ever seen a ticket police officer board a train. I have seen them at the Military Park Station and at Newark Penn Station but no other stations. It seems to me fare evaders can simply look out the windows and if they see ticket police they can stay on the train to the next station. Then they can buy and VALIDATE a ticket and ride one station back. Even in Newark Penn Station you can ride back a station.
Does anyone know if this is done?

Most of the passengers are on their way to work and don't have time to stay on the train to the next station, buy a ticket, validate it, and ride back, without being late for work.
Newark Penn can get pretty crowded at peak times. You wouldn't always see the police by looking out the window.

I am guessing they have some way of knowing before you get on the train. For example, in NYC (you probably know this) you have to put in a ticket to get thru the turnstiles.
