Not "some" passengers do need a ticket. Every passenger needs a ticket and some hold it because they either have a public transport ticket or a parking ticket.
It it as easy as this: In this country it is your own responsibiltiy to hold a ticket when boarding public transport. This is the rule, may it be enforced or not, it does not change the rule.
This Skytrain is not owned and operated by the airport but by the public transport authority (what is the purpose of ticket machines and stampers on the platform?) and you need to pay for travel outside the airport. We should probably do it like in New York, charge 5 USD and install barriers. This is however not the general concept in this country.
