MK Metro have been known to display posters
reading as follows, which I thought was a wonderfully British
non-deterrent:-

"Passengers must retain their tickets for possible inspection. If
found without a valid ticket, you will be required to pay the correct
fare for the journey you have made."

Really.

Not quite as bad as it sounds. The "correct fare" on some First buses is
an approx £50 "Standard fare", unless bought from the driver when you
board the bus.
