In the figure, reference numeral C denotes a controller, which is constituted mainly by a microcomputer so as to control the main unit a as a whole, and serves as a permission means of the present invention.

The control operation will be described below with reference to the flowchart of FIG. 2 and the route map of FIG. Now, let's assume that the user gets on the train from Koga Station on the company's own line, transfers at the station Heisei, which is a transfer station between the company's own line and another company's line, and gets off from Cho station on the other company's line. It is assumed that you have a ticket that can be boarded, a ticket that can be boarded from Otsu Station to Hei Station, and a ticket that can be boarded from Hei Station to Cho Station. Then, it is assumed that the ticket data is entered into an automatic ticket gate (not shown) installed at the instep station and entry data is recorded.

When a user who gets off at the station A of the company's own line inserts tickets and the like into the slot 1 of the main body a installed at the station A, the data recorded therein are read head H1 ( Alternatively, the data is read through H1 ') and provided to the operation of the controller C (Yes at Step 100, Step 102; hereinafter, Step is referred to as S).
