用于从出发地到目的地单次行程的车票，只包含去程不包含回程，常用于火车、飞机等交通工具。yòng yú cóng chū fā dì dào mù dì dì dān cì xíng chéng de chē piào zhǐ bāo hán qù chéng bù bāo hán huí chéng cháng yòng yú huǒ chē fēi jī děng jiāo tōng gōng jù

Word origin

单 (dān, "single") + 程 (chéng, "journey") form the one-way part, and 票 (piào, "ticket") makes the full word a ticket for that journey.

Usage tips

  • In transport bookings, this word specifies that the return part is not included, so the trip back requires a separate ticket.
