They do it in Jerusalem.  I have twice been in a city bus which was
boarded by a police officer checking tickets.  Both times, it was at
rush hour, just as the bus entered downtown, on a bus which was full
enough that the driver skipped stops because he had no room for
passengers.  It took him a while, but he worked his way through the bus,
starting at the front door, and got off through the back door at the
next stop.

I've also been checked on an overfull inter-urban bus, but that's easier
for the officer because he has plenty of time between stops.
