Bus Conductor Tools of the Trade

A specially-made side pouch for money and little receipt pads (this one is made of denim).



Rubber around the thumb, to enable for silent and speedy tearing off of little bus tickets (or receipts) from little pads.



Bus tickets with denominations on them. When the trip is far, you can get a combination of five tickets, all differently colored with various amounts. A bitch for recording expenses.
