Train fare evasion

Given that it's effectively a form of fraud it's not surprising that it's a criminal offence.

Fraud: wrongful or criminal deception intended to result in financial or personal gain.

Q. Do you have a ticket?

A. No.

It is hard to see where the deception needed for fraud is, unless the person claims that they have a ticket when they do not have one.
