"Permit to Travel"

elfsWhen I use the light rail to get into Seattle, I have to make two stops: at the beginning, where I'm issued an e-ticket for the train, and at the end, where I redeem the ticket with a tap-out and have my Metro account debited for the amount of travel I used. If you don't redeem, you're dinged the maximum amount, $2.50. Given that I've never traveled less than the full distance, I don't see much point, but I still tap out at the end.
The ticket is called a "Permit to Travel." Am I the only one who finds that terminology just a little creepy?
