How do I buy a train ticket in Australia?
Q. I need to catch a train, but I'm not sure exactly what I need to ask for at the window. There are different kinds of tickets and some stations don't sell them. I'll be travelling from Station A to Station B. Station A is unmanned, it has no ticket seller and no vending machine. Does that mean I just don't need to buy one for the first trip? And what do I ask for at Station B? Day ticket? What are the different kinds? Do I need to buy two tickets, since I didn't buy one for the first trip?
Asked by - Mon Oct 5 05:29:06 2009 - Rail - 2 Answers - Comments

A. It depends on which state you are in, and what length of trip. In Victoria all stations have vending machines for the Metropolitan network. You can get V line tickets for country trains at premium stations, the main suburban ones which are manned all day. In a small country town with an un-manned station you can get on the train and buy a ticket from the conductor. Many V line services require you to reserve a seat in advance, so it is best to either get your ticket in advance, either at a station, or on the net. As far as other states go, it is probably similar.

What is the cost per ticket to a professional basketball team that offers 50 free tickets to an orphanage?
Q. What is the cost per ticket to a professional basketball team that offers 50 free tickets to an orphanage? Does it matter for what game the tickets are offered? Explain.

A. Ignoring the cost to print the tickets the Q goes to opportunity cost. So, was the game a likely sell-out? If the answer is no then the marginal revenue given up to offer "free" tickets is zero. If the tickets were reserved, the game sold out and the tickets could have been sold for $ 5,000 then the lost revenue is $5,000.

What happens with my ticket if I miss a Greyhound bus transfer?
Q. If I do happen to miss a transfer and have to take the next bus that makes different transfers not listed on my original ticket, what do I do? Do I need to get my trip re-ticketed or do they just accept the original ticket knowing that I'm still going to the same destination anyway? I would especially like hear feedback from people with experience or a Greyhound employee. Thanks for your help!

A. You need endorsement on your present ticket to travel again on the same ticket on the different bus and time plain, even if the destination is the same, there is always booking for the seats on bus in advance, without endorsement you will not get boarding right and a seat in the bus, so why be careless do the needful

How can I obtain an airline ticket receipt without losing money or flying?
Q. My contract stipulates that I can obtain a refund for a return ticket from where I am working to my country of origin. All I need is the airline ticket receipt (last page of the airline ticket). The date can be in the future or past, it doesn't matter. However, it must have my name on it. I don't want to fly to my country of origin right now but I want to take advantage of the refund. The place I work for insists on an airline ticket receipt. Is there any way to obtain it without flying or losing money? If I buy a ticket and refund it later I think I will lose money through some kind of cancellation charge. Will an airline office or ticket agents supply me with one?

A. You can call the court, number is on back of your summons, and find out the new court date. Or if the cop is a good one he will get a magistrate summons and you will receive it at home or work. Either way it doesn't get rid of the fact that you committed crime, if you did. You need to give the judge that consideration and let him/her hear the case.

A. You haven't told us why your agent is refusing to do it -- it's possible that the agent's refusal has to do with fare rules that don't allow the ticket to be changed at all. If this is the case, then you're going to either have to buy another one-way ticket or lose the value of this ticket entirely and buy a new return ticket. Knowing why he's refusing to do it might help obtain a better answer.

How many points does a careless driving ticket carry in New Jersey?
Q. I unfortunately got my 1st driving ticket the other day. I was doing 37 in a 25mph zone. The officer gave me a ticket but he said that instead of giving me a speeding ticket, he would give me a careless driving which is less $. He told me that I should go to court (not mandatory) & plead not guilty to get the points removed from my license.

The Flex Ticket also includes park to park access, so you can visit as many of these five parks on any given day as you please.

How do ticket conductors remember everybody who has shown a ticket?
Q. I gather this would require a decent memory and perhaps a few techniques. I imagine the ticket conductor would try and remember passengers through their actions (is the passenger reading or not?), by clothes and fashion (what colours stand out?) and so on? Are there any techniques at all involved? Fast Reg, I thought so. I always have noticed that when ticket conductors enter the carriage they say "tickets please" and everybody who got on looks.
Asked by Walter - Wed Jan 14 08:10:17 2009 - Rail - 5 Answers - Comments

A. They don't always remember. On long journeys there have been ocassions when I've been asked to produce my ticket more than once by the same conductor. However, I guess once you've been up and down the train a couple of times between stops you get a pretty good idea of who is sitting where. I don't believe there are any special techniques. In fact, what I have observed is that the passengers who have just boarded often identify themselves. The conductor will walk into the carriage and call "Tickets from ___ please", and all the people who got on at that stop will make eye contact with the conductor as he/she comes past and show their tickets.
