single tickets

Not season passes

Single tickets are individual fares purchased for one-time use, as opposed to passes, subscriptions, or bulk purchases.

The term appears most often in public transit and entertainment contexts: Single tickets cost more per ride than a monthly pass.

In British usage, a single ticket specifically means one-way travel, contrasted with a return ticket.
