How so? In both cases you have obtained a product or srvice without having paid the appropriate charge. Theft is theft. It makes no difference whether it's a Mars Bar, a train ride, a bottle of whiskey, a tv or someones car from their driveway, it's still theft.
It's not quite as simple when the same Mars bar ends up being a different price depending on what time of day it is, how old you are and whether you are physically given the opportunity to pay for it or not. Buying a mars bar is a simple transaction - you go into the shop and you pay the stated price. Buying a train ticket is a more complex affair not made easier when the point of sale is a machine.
