Do you need a ticket to Epcot to ride the monorail?

Just think of the Monorail as a bus that helps people get around to different resorts or parks (MK or Epcot). You can ride the monorail any time. No Disney tickets even needed. If you took a bus from Disney Springs to Epcot or Magic Kingdom, you could ride from there.
