I’ve been trying to think of other expensive things you can do anonymously. Busses aren’t cheap, but have a driver. You can ride a plane (national only) here in NZ with no ID check. There is a name on the ticket, but no one checks it matches the passenger. Plenty of staff and other passengers around too.

that is impressive to the point of giving me "living in the future" vibes

I hypothesize that at least one of these is true:
No one has exploited this yet (it only takes one incident).
It is checked, you just don't know about it. Facial ID is pretty rad now.

It isn’t. I’ve flown on someone else’s ticket and I’ve given a ticket away before.
