In addition, in transportation facilities that have already installed automatic ticket gates, the back of the ticket is magnetized to memorize the boarding section and expiration date, and these are decoded by a magnetic reader inside the automatic ticket gate. A control device determines whether or not the vehicle is an unauthorized vehicle.
