Definition in Chinese

月票是指在一个月内有效、可在规定范围内反复乘坐交通工具的定期乘车凭证。yuè piào shì zhǐ zài yí gè yuè nèi yǒu xiào kě zài guī dìng fàn wéi nèi fǎn fù chéng zuò jiāo tōng gōng jù de dìng qī chéng chē píng zhèng

Word origin

月 (yuè, "month") marks the time span, while 票 (piào, "ticket or certificate") supplies the idea of a document that grants access, so the compound names a time-limited travel credential.

Usage tips

  • English speakers may associate a ticket with one journey, but this term highlights continuing access for regular travel such as commuting or attending school.
