TEEN TRAVEL CLUB

If you're aged 16, 17, 18 or 19 and would like to be able to afford to go out more often,
why not join the Teen Travel Club and get cheaper bus travel? To join, all you have to do is
to fill in a form and take it to your nearest bus station. You will also need your birth
certificate and a passport-sized photograph of yourself. You will receive a free Teen Travel
membership card which will allow you to travel at a reduced cost. Once you're a member
of the Teen Travel Club, you can buy tickets at any bus station, post office or rail ticket
office. Each ticket you buy is divided into 10 parts; when you get on the bus, you put the
ticket into a special machine, which will then stamp one part. The tickets last as long as
you like and it doesn't matter how long it takes you to use up all the journeys. However,
you must remember to take your membership card with you when you use your ticket;
otherwise, you may have to pay the full fare if your ticket is checked. Teen Travel tickets
cannot be used by more than one person at a time nor can they be used on night services
or the 709 express bus service.

Sentence 0 is an example.
