I would imagine there is a record of each PTT that is issued from a machine and records of those exchanged for tickets but how do TOC's account for those that are issued but aren't exchanged for tickets ? They will gain some income from them but do they assume that there would be a lost income too in the form of an uncollected fare ?
I could see it being almost impossible to determine if a PTT is bought by somone who collects them, someone intending to travel who changes their mind and doesn't travel or someone who does travel and avoids the fare.
Do TOC's consider them as income gained or income lost ?
