WHAT DOES TICKET INSPECTOR MEAN IN ENGLISH?

ticket inspector

Conductor (transportation)

A conductor is a railway train crew member responsible for operational and safety duties that do not involve actual operation of the train. The conductor title is most common in North American railway operations, but the role is common worldwide under various job titles. Conductor job responsibilities typically include: ▪ Making sure the train stays on schedule ▪ Ensuring that any cars and cargo are picked up and dropped off properly ▪ Completing en-route paperwork ▪ Ensuring the train follows applicable safety rules and practices ▪ Controlling the train's movement while operating in reverse ▪ Coupling or uncoupling cars ▪ Assisting with setting out or picking up of rolling stock ▪ Carrying out running repairs ▪ Ticket collection and other customer service duties ▪ Opening and closing train doors Some rapid transit systems employ conductors to make announcements and open and close doors—as opposed to a train operator performing those duties. The conductor often stays in the center of the train where they can best view the platform.
