How it's used
While 車票 is the formal term used on signage and official documents, native speakers almost exclusively use 車飛 in daily conversation. The character 飛 is a phonetic loan from the English word ticket, which has become deeply integrated into Cantonese vocabulary. Using the formal term in casual settings can sound overly stiff or distant.

Common mistake
Learners often mistakenly use 飛 to refer to any kind of ticket, but it is specifically associated with transport or cinema. For events like concerts or exhibitions, 門票 is the standard term.
