London transport Gibson bus tickets issued aboard RM's 1804 and 1806 whilst on tour in Brussels and Germany in 1964.
When we lived in Great Barr, Birmingham in the 1960s the other bus route was the 15/16 into Birmingham - haunts of wonderful Birmingham 'standards' - and this is a Birmingham City Transport bus ticket for 2d issued from an Ultimate ticket machine. Ephemeral printing at its best!
What's in my handbag? I swear it's just not that big but somewhat TARDIS-like on the inside. And I have no idea how it is all going to fit back in.
Issued from an Ultimate ticket machine a pre-decimal Rochdale Corporation bus ticket that I may even have got on a trip across town on the old number 10 (Syke to Turf Hill) on the way to my grandparents in Balderstone. I just like the ephemeral quality of these little tickets - and the memories of pre-PTE and privatised bus fleets.
An old RATP Autobus ticket I found on an old set of drawers I was demolishing earlier.
I have been to Paris but never used the buses and the RATP tickets I have issued look different. Can anyone identify the period these tickets were in use?
My Drivers waybill from 26 September 2001 which would have been printed from the bus ticket machine when I finished my turn. I'm not sure which route this is from but it's possible to be the 345 (Peckham to South Kensington via Clapham).
At this time London cash bus fares were arranged in 2 zones. 70p in 'zone 2' and £1 when travelling to, from or through Central London. The child fare was a flat 40p.
A rack of Bell Punch tickets on display at the Greater Manchester Museum of Transport. The Bell Punch company first began supplying London General Omnibus Company and municipal tramway operators during the 1890s with ticketing machines. The Bell Punch was a simple device carried by the conductor, which punched a hole in the appropriate ticket issued from the rack to the fare-paying passenger. The machine made a pleasing ‘ting’ sound in the process. More modern ticket-issuing equipment displaced the Bell Punch system in later years, although it survived with London Transport into the 1950s.
The old tickets in this view were once issued by the Leicestershire-based independent bus operator, Gibson Brothers of Barlestone. That company was taken over by Leicester City Transport in 1980, which retained the Gibson identity for several more years.
3x London transport Gibson bus tickets issued on RML's 2368 and 2396 whilst on a tour of Oslo between April and May 1966.
Thiruvathirakali is a dance performed by women, The sinuous movements executed by a group of dancers around a nilavilakku, embody 'lasya' or the amorous charm and grace of the feminine. The dance follows a circular, pirouetting pattern accompanied by clapping of the hands and singing. Today, Thiruvathirakali has become a popular dance form for all seasons
A small item of ephemera from the old Glasgow Corporation Transport Department - one of the UK's greatest municipal operators. No date on this but it 'feels' 1930s and was valid on service 3 between Kelvindale and the city centre at St Vincent St. The ticket was printed by the old Glasgow Numerical Printing Company.
London Transport operated a number of circular special bus routes to transport visitors to the Festival from a number of underground stations. Due to my military service I missed the actual festival but did visit the fairground part that remained for some time.
*when we were little, we would count up the numbers on the top and align them to the alphabet to see who might be thinking about us at that instant. In this ticket, the numbers on the top 523-358281 add up to 37, that's K in the alphabet. Which meant someone whose name starts with K was thinking about me. Just small fun stuff we reveled in as kids:)
London transport Bell Punch type bus ticket as issued aboard RT2776 in New York in 1952 whilst on a tour of the US along with sister buses RT2775 and RTL1307 in 1952.
Tickets in use on Cleethorpes Corporation Transport buses. As a ten year old collector of bus tickets I used to wait for the trolley buses at the Bathing Pool terminus and ask the conductors for the contents of the 'Used Tickets' receptacle. Some of them were kind enough to indulge me. While I got lots of duplicates some were the treasured workmen s white tickets or other interesting ones.
Another relic of the once great municipal bus operation run by the City of Birmingham - its once proud Transport Department. I also like the ephemeral quality of this tiny piece of paper from the 1960s.
I've been folding cranes from Lothian bus tickets for close on 3 years now. My aim is to get to 1000. I am at 958. So close!

3 x London transport bus tickets there were issued in 1952 aboard RT2776 as she toured the United States and Canada along with sister vehicles RT2775 and RTL1307, these three tickets were issued in cities where the buses stopped off and RT2776 would give locals rides around the city visited, these three are for New York, Kansas and Los Angeles.
Recently I found a few old LRT bus tickets, which I had collected back in the mid 1980s. These "Autofare" tickets had been the standard issue on LRT buses for at least 10 years, but were being phased out by the time these examples were issued. The replacement Autofare 3 system had been trialled for a few years in some of the new LRT National 2s and Olympians; however eventually LRT settled on the Wayfarer II system from 1985 onwards. I must have saved these tickets as souvenirs when the new Wayfarer II tickets became more prevalent.
I could never understand what all of the serial numbers on these tickets meant, yet they obviously did mean something - I distinctly remember the humiliation of being walked downstairs by a ticket inspector to pay an excess fare one day when I had underpaid the fare by 5p! This information leaflet about similar Autofare tickets from WMPTE has an explanation of the codes - presumably the LRT system must have been similar.
The Autofare ticket machine made a distinctive collection of mechanical noises before spitting out the ticket into the hopper - sometimes more noises than others. It also wasn't unusual for the ticket machine to have run out of tickets completely. Was the little picture of the bus conductor proclaiming "Go by bus" unique to LRT, or was it a feature of all Autofare tickets?

A five penny ticket from pre decimalisation days in the U.K.
Almost two and a half pence in decimal.

3x London transport bus tickets as issued aboard bus RT2776 also known as "Eyebrows" due to her being fitted with extra air vents to each deck and the top deck ones giving the impression of the bus having eyebrows abover her front top deck windows. She tour the USA and Canada in 1952 with sister buses RT2775 and RTL1307, RT2776 was the "rides bus" and at each city they visited she would give locals a ride and each passenger would be given one of these tickets as a souvenier, these three tickets are for New York, Kansas and Los Angeles.
