OK, so how about the L.A. Metro's answer to admission systems.
No tokens.  No farecards.

You just buy a little ticket that you keep in your pocket to
prove you paid your fare.  There is no entrance system.  You
just walk in and sit down.  No one asks for your ticket when
you get in, but the "conductors" walk up and down periodically
asking to see your ticket.  It's basically an honor system, but
with high fines if you get caught cheating.
