    In Calcutta, season tickets are issued only for the calendar month, with a different colour for each month, so that this problem does not arise. The merest whisper of an idea to change Bombay to the Calcutta system brought such a howl of protest in the Press, that it was never seriously contemplated.

    1953 November, 'Erca', “Ticket Frauds in the East”, in Railway Magazine, page 779
