He asked me had anyone explained why this needed to be done, I said no, even though it had been done only once before and I have been using weekly tickets now (as opposed to the annual one) for over a year. He said that they have to be stamped at least once in the week to prove that the ticket has been in use.
Now he was very pleasant and polite etc, but I don't understand this logic. Why do you have to prove that you've been using a weekly ticket? Surely all they care about is that I have a valid ticket with me when I'm travelling? And then why don't they stamp the monthly tickets once a week for the same reason?  |
That seems like a complete nonsense, once the ticket passes its valid-to date it's no longer any good.
