Concession Tickets Describing the policy of selling concession tickets on the trams on]y between certain hours as farcical, Cr Wilson said that it took a conductor longer to explain why he could not sell a ticket at a certain time than it would lake to accommodate the passenger The chairman of the Transport Committee (Cr H.
