Description:

Hello, guys. Do you happen to collect transport tickets? Or maybe you would like to see how they look in different countries? Or you would like to use them for handicraft? The reason doesn't matter for me unless you would like to swap tickets.

You'll have two partners who you'll have to sent 20 tickets to. They don't have to be different, but try to put as various as you can.

Buses, trains, undergrounds - doesn't matter.

Pretty simple, I guess, but if you have any questions, ask.

When we have bus tickets, we give them to the bus driver. I wouldn't mind giving up one, but 20? They cost $2.40 each, and that's buying a pack of 10.

Just to be sure, that would be 40 tickets in total?

Yep. Well, if you travel much by public transport you would have some of them. I'm a collector so I keep all the bus tickets I use, but if you guys think it's too much, I can change it to be 10 tickets to each person. @user6937 I meant used tickets so you can't participate :( BTW: I didn't know there was a country where you leave tickets to the driver. Pretty interesting.

leaving tickets to the driver is very common to me, since people did it already since the past. And nowadays, the tickets is plastic instead of paper, and changed from monthly one to a long-term (or maybe lifelong one, we add value to it from time to time)

I did keep some used tickets, but it's very difficult for me to collect 40... (it's a long term ticket and can used in all kinds of local transport, even buy things!) I really want to join since last time, it will be great if there's another swap like this which is with around 3-5 tickets to each person. =)

well now in hong kong, there is no need to buy a ticket for bus, we just pay cash or by octopus (http://www.octopus.com.hk/home/en/index.html, most important creation ever. like credit card but without signing or receipt, can use it on all transports, supermarket, fast food restaurants. i never carry coins now) we will buy ticket for subway if we have no octopus but they take back the tickets....
