How it's used
While literally combining the words for vehicle and flight or ticket, this term is specifically used for public transport tickets like bus or tram tickets. It is less common for MTR travel since most people use an Octopus card, but it remains the standard way to refer to paper tickets for buses or ferries.

Common mistake
Do not use this for entry tickets to events or movies, which are called 飛 or 門票 instead. Using 車飛 for a cinema ticket will sound very confusing to a native speaker.
