Definition in Chinese

车票是乘客购买后作为乘车凭证的票据，用于进站、检票和乘车，常与候车、检票、退票等词连用。chē piào shì chéng kè gòu mǎi hòu zuò wéi chéng chē píng zhèng de piào jù yòng yú jìn zhàn jiǎn piào hé chéng chē cháng yǔ hòu chē jiǎn piào tuì piào děng cí lián yòng

Word origin

The compound 车票 (chēpiào, "ticket") joins 车 (chē, "vehicle") and 票 (piào, "ticket"), so its meaning grows naturally from a ticket used for a vehicle journey.

Usage tips

  • Electronic travel tickets still use this same noun, so the word does not imply that the ticket is printed on paper.
