So true. Here in the US, most commuter rail agencies use paper seat checks to verify whether someone has paid or not. This allows for a sharing in the responsibility, and makes it so that no one is missed. I liked your comment on looking like you belong. So true.

But then I realised that for our smaller, local trains it's quite easy. The first one to stick his head of the door when the train stops is the conductor. He probably looks at who is getting on, and tries to memorize some special characteristics. Could be your conductor uses a similar trick. I used to wonder how our conductors knew about this as well.
