Hmm..interesting concept. I pay about $80 for a monthly ticket, each
month, 11 months a year.  The ticket has an expiry date on it after my
initial use of it. Would they really throw me off for not revalidating
each time and then add insult to injury by fining me as well. I
somehow think not....not good PR and not condusive to attracting
passengers to their system. I await my first argument with a ticket
inspector re this issue. So far not one of them has queried my right
to ride the trams.
