    Same in Oslo. No turnstiles, you are just expected to have a valid ticket, (mainly digital) within the zone. And you can get checked at any time

      Other than London, is there any European city with turnstiles? I’ve been traveling extensively and never noticed any.

        Lisbon has them, and I believe so does Porto (the only two portuguese cities with subway)

        Stockholms has automatic gates that open once your ticket gets scanned. So basically the same function?

        Paris for the metro/rer.

        The big lines/intercity often have no one checking at the entrance, but do fairly regular ticket checks once on board.

        The Netherlands recently switched to turnstyles.

        You get IDd and a fine.

        You can either pay it there or get it mailed, but then it’s like 20% more expensive

      Another star for Norway. If I could get family issues disentangled, I’d be applying for jobs there in a heartbeat.
