How it's used
Refers specifically to paper or digital vouchers that hold a specific value or grant access, distinguishing it from a general ticket like 飛. It is almost exclusively used in compound words rather than as a standalone noun in casual conversation. You will frequently encounter it in commercial contexts involving discounts, gifts, or entry rights.

Common mistake
Do not use it to refer to a simple travel ticket like a bus or train ticket, as those are almost always called 飛 or 車飛. Using it for general transportation tickets sounds overly formal or incorrect.
