Singapore Traction Company - pre-1964 10c ticket
Bell Punch tickets were made to be cancelled in a bell punch - a small machine carried by the conductor that punched a hole into a value (either the stage number, route or fare payed) - here in Singapore it seems to have been a 10c ticket valid from fare stage 17. I'm not sure when this ticket dates from - the Singapore Traction Company ran from 1923 to 1971 but had been reorganised in 1964, therefore this ticket should date from before then. It was printed by the Bell Punch Company who were based in Uxbridge, England. The STC, who ran trams (until 1927), trolleybuses and buses, were as the ticket notes 'incorporated in the United Kingdom'.
