train ticket

Boarding proof purchased

A train ticket is a document—paper or electronic—that authorizes travel on a railway.

You purchase one for a specific route, and sometimes for a specific departure time and seat.

I lost my train ticket and had to buy another one.

The term extends to any proof of paid rail passage, from printed slips to mobile barcodes.
