BB&CI-season-ticket

An unused BB&CI Season tour ticket issued in 1937. I could not make out if this ticket was valid for travel to all the places mentioned in the ticket. If so what could have been the arrangement between BB&CI and other railway companies in terms of sharing of revenues. What percentage of Rs.89 would have gone to other Railway companies and what if the person who bought the ticket did not use a particular leg of the journey. - M Senthil Kumar
