railcard
Fare reduction card
A railcard is a discount card for train travel, primarily in Britain, entitling the holder to reduced fares.
Different railcards serve different groups: students, seniors, families, or frequent travelers.
My railcard saves me a third on every journey.
The card typically requires an annual fee but pays for itself quickly with regular use.
