Actually it is. Tickets *always* remain the legal property of the issuing
authority, just like your driver's license remains the property of the state
authority (in my case the RTA) which issued it, and any electronic banking
card (debit card, credit card, etc.) remains the property of the issuing
bank.

All a train ticket gives you is a temporary 'license' to be using the
services provided by the issuing authority...

Craig.
