The Shinkansen (Japan) employs this same technique, entering the platform area via fare gates... I think I just assumed at the time that fare gates were the norm everywhere in Japan and didn't put too much thought into it.

Via Rail also does that at major stations before you get to the gate, but then they also check on board. Then again, Via Rail doesn't check before boarding say at Kitchener.
