Flashcards

Combined Class Tickets

When a ticket covers travel in multiple classes, the code used corresponds to the first leg's class.

Index Number Digits

The last three digits of the index number represent the printed series' sequential order.

Excess Printed Series

If a station has over 999 printed series of a certain class, it receives multiple codes for organization.

New Ticket Series

When new ticket series are supplied, the index number, destination, and price are initially recorded manually until an updated printed list becomes available.
