ION - Waterloo Region's Light Rail Transit
While the majority of systems are like that, Hiroshima had a second staff member aboard it's tram system, and you paid your fair when exiting at their station (board all doors, exit 1 door).

In Stockholm (or was it Göteborg?), the fare attendant on board walked up and down, looking for new passengers. You'd then pay them and they'd use a machine to issue you a ticket.

I just wanted to point out that it's not uncommon or limited to third-world applications to have onboard fare collection/verification.
