In plain English
This marks the earliest moment a ticket becomes usable for a journey. It includes both a calendar date and a clock time, so the start of use is tied to a specific point.
In context
Here, it names the date and time when the ticket's validity begins for travel.
- Situation
- Using rail, bus, metro, ride, and local-transit tickets and service updates
- What it communicates
- names the ticket's starting validity time.
Meaning limits
By itself, this term does not say how long the ticket remains valid after that starting point.
Examples
“The excursion ticket is valid from 09:30 on Monday, not from midnight.”
“The clerk separated the tickets valid from 09:30 on Monday from those starting later.”
