Usage tips
Compound word
'Fahrausweis' is made up of 'Fahr-' (related to traveling) and 'Ausweis' (document / proof). The first part refers to traveling, while the second refers to a document or form of proof.
EXAMPLE
Am Eingang musste jeder seinen Fahrausweis bereithalten.
At the entrance, everyone had to have their transit ticket ready.
Typical collocations
Common collocations include 'einen Fahrausweis vorzeigen' (to show a transit ticket), 'einen gültigen Fahrausweis besitzen' (to have a valid transit ticket), and 'ohne Fahrausweis fahren' (to travel without a transit ticket).
EXAMPLE
Bei einer Kontrolle konnte der Fahrgast keinen gültigen Fahrausweis vorzeigen.
During an inspection, the passenger was unable to show a valid transit ticket.
Inspection situations
The word is especially common in situations where inspection staff request proof of payment. Typical sentence patterns therefore contain verbs such as 'zeigen' (to show), 'vorweisen' (to present), or 'kontrollieren' (to inspect).
EXAMPLE
Die Kontrolleurin kontrollierte im Zug jeden Fahrausweis.
The inspector checked every passenger's transit ticket on the train.
