ticket punch
Fare validation device
A ticket punch is a handheld tool that cuts a small hole or notch in a ticket, card, or paper strip to mark it as used or validated.
Conductors on trains traditionally carried ticket punches to mark passengers' tickets.
The device creates a distinctive shape—a circle, star, or other pattern—that proves the ticket has been checked.
Also called a hole punch when used for general paper punching, though ticket punch implies the specific function of validation.
