MRS Jones buys a return ticket and thrusts it into her purse. On the return journey she has to buy a single because her return got torn in her purse.

Why should this be?

Answer: Because nine out of 10 bus drivers 'rip' tickets instead of using the punch provided.

Why? Because it is quicker. Is there a solution to this problem?
