Posted by SilverFox on Sun Mar 7 03:13:21 2010, in response to Re: Unpunched Railroad Tickets, posted by Nilet on Sat Mar 6 01:07:11 2010. Since when do conductors ever punch monthlies? Actually, they DO punch monthlies at the beginning of every month, and then on certain days thereafter the conductor comes through the door and announces "All tickets please. Today is ticket punching day." There are provisions for punches on the face of the ticket in the small holographic area that says "M 1 2 3 4 F" at the center right of the ticket. Part of the reason for punching the monthly ticket is because, in theory, it is non-transferable, and the conductor must, at least, punch the gender of the initial user to prevent half the population from borrowing the ticket going forward. ...oh, right, SilverFox. Proceeding to not take too seriously post. Do so at your own peril. Every so often I do slip a serious one in the mix. |
