(1) Any Ex-member desiring to undertake a journey shall present the coupon book to the booking clerk without detaching any coupon therefrom. Loose coupons i.e; coupons detached from a coupon book shall not, except as provided in sub-rule (2) be accepted under any circumstances.
(2) The booking clerk shall personally remove from the coupon book the number of coupons necessary for the journey.
