Etymology & Components

The Chinese word 退票 (tuì piào) is composed of two characters: 退 (tuì), meaning "to return" or "to refund", and 票 (piào), meaning "ticket". Together, they form the compound word 退票, which literally means "to return a ticket". In the context of transportation, 退票 refers to the act of returning a purchased ticket for a refund. It is commonly used in situations where a passenger needs to cancel their travel plans and seeks to get their money back for the unused ticket. The process of 退票 may involve contacting the transportation provider, such as an airline or train company, and following their specific procedures for ticket refunds.
