Hi. As someone who are not from Paris or Europe all i could think is that everyone who ride the train will already bought their ticket as they will need it to pass the turnstile, so i often throw the ticket away after checking in at the turnstile.

I'm from Spain and there's a lot of people jumping the turnstile so, while I understand your point, they still check just in case you jumped. It's stupid but needs to be done 😐😐

In most of Europe there are no turnstiles. You can board without any barriers and tickets are randomly checked on the train or at the station
