In Vancouver currently, although it is soon to change and may have already, it is very easy.
The rapid transit systems are open and have no ticket checkers except for spot checkers, maybe an hour or two a week. The major transfer points are the same, the driver leaves the bus and goes for coffee or a smoke etc. and anyone can get on. Major routes have large buses with up to three entrances, only one of which has a person checking tickets. And where I live the bus drivers are mostly nice guys and gals who will let people on if they snivel enough.
