Default Penalty Fare - Surely they can't do this?

Travelling without the means to pay the normal fare is evidence of
intended fare evasion, in which case you can't be penalty fared.
Having the means to pay the normal fare but not the penalty fare is
evidence that you might not be intending to evade the fare, and
therefore you can be penalty-fared (ie charged a "standard" fare for
not having paid in advance).

It's then a matter of a civil debt, so I really don't know how that's
dealt with internationally.
