I have. A friend of mine found a years-old ten-ride in her purse (she once commuted to Lake Forest) and gave it to me. Of course, the design has changed somewhat in the interim. A few weeks later, I tried paying with it -- I think on a Ravinia run -- and the conductor firmly but not rudely took it, exclaimed about how old it was, ripped it up, and made me pay in cash.
