チケット (chiketto) 切符 (kippu) 乗車券 (joushaken)
All words mean ticket -Is there any difference among them? When is appropriate to use them or not?
The only one thing I found yet, is that the last one means passenger ticket or train ticket in detail.
Are kippu/chiketto inappropriate in use as train ticket or are they general enough?
When you ride local trains, 切符 is the same as 乗車券. In everyday conversations, ordinary people usually stick to 切符 unless they need to be specific.
