Rail pass

Rail pass is a pass that covers the cost of train travel in certain designated area within a certain period of time. It is contrasted to point-to-point ticket that it allows the holder unlimited travel within the pre-designated area and period while point-to-point ticket only permits the holder to travel from a point to another once. It is different from season ticket in the sense that while both of them grant unlimited travels to the holder, season tickets normally target commuting travellers, whereas rail passes usually target tourists. Based on this difference, terms of use are thus normally set differently.
