Actually, I just returned a monthly ticket (bent by jammed validator gate)
last week (9/3) and received three weekly tickets in the mail today (17/3).
The letter was dated 16/3 which means it is only one week turnaround. Maybe
because I had the ticket they didn't have to verify whether that validator
was defective or not.
