James,

You forgot the Light Rail Line in Baltimore, MD as well.  When I use
it to travel to an O's game at Camden Yard, there is no way to cheat
it as there is a cop at the North Lithicum station as well as someone
selling tickets, on the way back there is a cop asking for tickets at
the Camden Yard Platform before allowing you to enter the platform!
