Historical information

Used for proofing the design of PTC scratch tickets. Scratch tickets were in use during the 1990s, replaced by Metcard. The reference article gives a good background to their poor acceptance.

Significance

Printed object belonging to a now-superceded transit agency (since the 1990s) at the time that scratch tickets were in use.

Physical description

A large rectangular piece of laminated paper. A total of 40 copies of 2-hour adult zones 1+2 tickets are printed on top. This is indicated on the left front side of the paper, along with the logo of the PTC and a disclaimer: "This is not a valid ticket." On the reverse side is the condition of use for the tickets (as would appear on actual scratch tickets).
