| These tickets were thin card and issued by Croydon Bus Company drivers, similar to the long running arrangements with the Whittlesea - Regent bus service and the Lilydale - Mt Evelyn bus service (see below). They were presented at Croydon Station to have the weekly numeral stamped on the left hand side. Bus drivers punched off each days travel along the 'in' and 'out' columns. |

| The front and back of the Mount Evelyn weekly are included here to show their similarity with the Croydon issue and the way in which the bus companies validated the left hand portion of these tickets. By the time these examples were sold in 1968, Adams had sold out to the Croydon Bus Lines which probably explains why these card type ticket were adopted for their North Croydon service instead of using edmondson tickets as was done progressively with the other bus companies who provided through weeklies with the Victorian Railways. Note that the right hand example was issued by Invicta Bus Lines who had taken over Croydon Bus Lines in June 1968. |
