    • 2006 December, 坂本武信, 老学生の日記: 63歳・東京外語大3年, 産経新聞, →ISBN, page 114:
      するとTシャツにジーンズ姿の2人の若者が乗りこんできて、突然に身分証を出し検札を始めた。ははー、これが話に聞いていた検札だ私は通学用に1週間有効の定期券のような切符を利用していた。これは最初の乗車時に1度刻印すればよい。
      Then, two young people wearing jeans and T-shirts got on board, gave out their ID and they started to check the ticket. Hmm, this is the ticket inspection I had heard about. I used a ticket like a commuter pass, that was valid for one week, to go to school. It only needs to be stamped once on the first ride.
