Fare control is the system to make sure that people, e.g. in a train station, pay their fare.

A fare control area can be an area at an entrance or exit with turnstiles or fare gates, or alternatively the area between the turnstiles and the tracks; on proof-of-payment systems, it may be simply denoted by a line on the floor, beyond which it is illegal to go without a ticket.
