ticket collector
Station gate worker
A ticket collector is a person employed to check and collect tickets from passengers on trains, buses, or at venues like theaters and stadiums.
The role involves verifying that passengers have valid tickets for their journey or event, and may include checking for fare evasion.
In British usage, the term often specifically refers to railway staff who patrol trains or work at station barriers.
