Right Gigatron: I'd gladly share my work with everyone on the board if I can get some good screen shots of it to create a bus ticket.

Awesome. I seem to suck at finding screen grabs. But now I think I have enough to make a passable bus ticket. I need to review the show to see the part under the tape though...

I am son going to run a Lost Room rpg and I'd like to have some objects the players can hold for it.

Thanks again.
 
Here's my first draft for my RGP Bus Ticket. It's mostly for spacing and I am only using the fonts I have on-hand with some tweeking, but here it is. Keep in minf this is a "good enough for an RPG" ticket. I will continuue playing around until I can make a good repro of the TV show ticket.

I can't do captures on my PC, so here's some janky pohoto's I took on pause. It helped a little.

Is it just me or does that duct tape look perforated in those bottom shots? I was trying to think how to tape my final ticket with duct tape and still be able to peel it off... just for kicks. :)

Wow, good catch. Now I need to start searching for a good shot of one at the right perspective... :)

Which was used by Greyhound. Approximately the 1948 Silverside as far as I can tell. Here's a shot, kind of small but would reverse well.

Here's another:

Anyone willing to reverse it and blue it for me? Please, please, please? I don't have the ability to do it myself. :cry

I think the missing two words in the last row are "passengers journey"
 
My try for the complete ticket text:

This ticket should be retained by the
passenger until destination is
reached, subject to inspection by the
Operator at any time, and is to be
provided to the Operator when
the passengers journey is completed.

That's good stuff. I'll use that unless it can be confirmed otherwise (if you don't mind.) I am working on the back now. Only a few things left.. The blue washed immage of the corredt bus, the two lines of words in the top quarter of the left circle, the faded letters that are half covered by the smudge and the tape at the top right of the front of the ticket.
