Why do you think tolerance of bad behavior is inevitable?
In one system near me I've ridden I've ridden hundreds of times and seen one example of really bad behavior ever and the person was kicked off.
In another in a big city they suffer from far more problems but even there most trips are trouble free.
In this system the dominant method of payment is by using a RFID card one swipes. Credit cards are not accepted and few use cash as it stands. If you are poor the cards are free.
One could strongly tie cards to identity, deprecate cash, and ban people who commit crimes on transit. Note if you don't have an ID you have a fingerprint.
Oh looks like you were caught smoking fentanyl 3 times on the bus no ride for you. Refuse to get off get a free ride to jail and unpleasant detox.
Most of the trouble is literally 0.001% of riders. It's not like most bus riders are offensive drug addicts.
