Last time I looked, they were shown in the printed timetables (the 67 one
I have from Aug 95 has them marked.) They are also shown on the stops.
Both, of course, are useless when you get on the tram, and I have overheard
people discussing whether or not they can use a short trip ticket. They
really need to get the driver involved in at least knowing which tickets are
appropriate, and let the passengers know they can ask.
