Trainmen complete daily paperwork turning in all receipts. Over the years, statistics are kept,

giving management an idea of how much should be turned in on a particular job combination,

or train. If the state kept as close a watch on their money as Metra does, there would not

be a budget crisis.

Remits are usually done at a terminal. So for example, the ticket agents at Fox Lake and Elgin can take remits at their window. Most are done downtown, however.

What if a conductor made a mistake on a cash fair can he write "void" on booth
the auditors stub and the passenger receipt, and present booth copies when
remitting.

If there is a void, you keep both receipts and punch cancel (3 punches) the ticket then turn them in with your receipts.
