Does anyone know how the ticketing system actually works when boarding the ferry on a car. For the last two occassions they have read my car ticket by placing it in a Bar Code machine. However they did not do this with the individual tickets that are issued to each person inside the car.
Does this mean that I can use these tickets again?

When you purchase the tickets in Cirkewwa, you tell the cashier that you would like to purchase a ticket for a passenger vehicle. You also tell the cashier how many passengers there are in the vehicle. The cashier issues tickets and when you swipe the car-driver ticket in the machine you enter the terminal parking awaiting to board the boat.

Another official comes and checks the tickets before you board the boat.
He only needs to check one ticket because he would have all the information - that type of ticket & number of passengers in the vehicle.
He visibly checks how many passengers there are in the vehicle.

I hope that answers your query.

Thanks Merill yes it does answer my question. I will now throw away the passenger tickets, I was hoping to cheat the system and re-use them :twisted:
