I realise that the legal systems might be different however
I think the principle of avoiding payment is the same, but
Hannover lost a legal case doing just this.

They tried to prosecute some people for riding without
a ticket from a stop with no machine They lost on the
basis that as the pax hadn't been given the opportunity
to buy a ticket so it was unreasonable to expect then to
have done so.

And this is in a town where it is possible to buy advanced
undated single tickets for all rides which isn't currently an
option in London.
