If you don't have an address in Switzerland (and don't plan to have one in the near future), you don't need to worry about being caught because there is no way you can be made to pay a fine. This even goes for EU citizens! (Info is from around 2015.) If you do happen to have an address in the country, lie, flirt and bargain your way out but don't show ID. Often the inspectors can be appeased by buying a Ticket from them or at the Ticket machine.
