Prohibition against travelling without pass or ticket
AI Assist
Summary
Entering or staying in a stage carriage for travel is allowed only if you carry a proper pass or ticket. If tickets are supplied on board, you may board but must, as soon as possible after boarding, pay the fare to the conductor or to the driver who acts as conductor and obtain a ticket. Passes can be free or paid; tickets include single, return or season tickets.
Example
Ravi boards a stage carriage where tickets are sold on board because there is no ticket counter at the stop. He is allowed to board but must immediately pay the fare to the conductor or the driver who acts as conductor and take the ticket for his journey.
