So, if you buy a train ticket, (not a travel card) Just say a Standard Advance ticket, and you then decide you do not want to travel on that day for whatever reason and you give that ticket to a friend, or, sell that ticket to a friend for a much lower price, what is the big deal?
I mean, Yes potentially the TOC is loosing out on money but is that the main and only reason that tickets are not transferable?
If you look at it this way, Person A (nice name i know ) Buys a AP Ticket From London To Glasgow, Decides not to travel, but Person A Gives Person B (another awesome name) that ticket to travel, so the TOC really is not loosing out because person B is travelling instead of Person B..
The only time that I think its wrong, is when people SELL travel cards after they are done with them (on the London Underground for example)
Or maybe when they try to sell AP tickets at a Higher Price to someone.
But yeah, apart from what I have stated above what other reasons are there that the TOC's do not like people to transfer tickets. ?
