DEFINITION

Noun

Similar to “ticket”.

由来
  • 英语“coupon”的音译。
  • 新加坡人最常使用的停车固本是在1980年代推出的，最初司机必须在停车固本上写下停车的日期、时间和地点。
  • 后来停车固本有所改进，司机只需撕出代表日期和时间的小圆纸，把固本放在车内挡风玻璃处，方便稽查员检查。
ETYMOLOGY
  • The Mandarin term “固本” is the transliteration of the English term“coupon”.
  • Parking coupons (a type of pre-paid parking ticket) were introduced in the 1980s and widely used. Initially, drivers had to write down the date, time and place of parking on the coupon.
  • The coupons subsequently evolved, and drivers were only required to tear off circular tabs on the coupons to indicate the date and time of parking, then display the coupons behind the windscreen for inspection.
