His second excuse was that it had " A, B and C on the ticket " Which is printed on all CAT Tickets issued on the Metro, Common Sense is that A,B and C is all Zones on a Metro ticket...
He said he'd let me on just this once but if he seen me again he wouldn't let me on.
Are Drivers seriously this undertrained on Tickets? The CAT is used by nearly every child in Tyne and Wear.
Could the driver not have just contacted control on his radio to check the validity of the ticket?
