Moblis tickets should be valid as long as they were "un-used"--so if the machine did not stamp it, you should be OK for a future date. [Generally if a metro ticket has been used, there is a notation on the reverse side--RATP agents, do spot checks, looking for people who are in the system without paying, generally by jumping turnstiles, they look for a validation mark; otherwise just carrying an
unused metro ticket would allow turnstile jumpers to ride free (perpetually).]
Follow-up question (for Metro experts): Why don't turnstile jumpers, carry
validated metro tickets which people discard...many are thrown on the floor?
