Commutation ticket
Commutation ticket Com`mu*ta"tion tick"et A ticket for transportation at a reduced rate in consideration of some special circumstance, as increase of travel; specif., a ticket for a certain number of, or for daily, trips between neighboring places at a reduced rate, such as are commonly used by those doing business in a city and living in a suburb. Commutation tickets are excepted from the prohibition against special rates contained in the Interstate Commerce Act of Feb. 4, 1887 (--24 Stat. 379), and in 145 U. S. 263 it was held that party tickets were also excepted as being ``obviously within the commuting principle.'' [Webster 1913 Suppl.]
