Ticket Tissue

Have you ever wondered what happens to all the tickets that are retained by the ticket gates at stations? Or the seiriken which you drop onto the little conveyor belt along with your bus fare? Well, it turns out they fall into an elaborate system of vacuum tubes which transport them to the factory of Meitetsu Kyōshō (名鉄協商株式会社) where they are transformed into toilet paper.
