You don't really see them coming until they're in your car and say "die Fahrkarte bitte!" And they don't mess around - if you are riding without a ticket, you get a €60 fine, even if you're a tourist and have no clue. It seems sufficient to get people to pay for their tickets and passes because they don't want to risk getting slapped with fine after fine.
My only problem with our local fare inspectors is not the inspections, but that the fines are so out of whack with the parking fines.
To me, that's an issue with the parking fines, not with the fare fines.
