Hello! I found this ticket in a second hand book I bought, can anyone figure out how old it is?

All I can work out from a search online is that it might be from before 2004 'cause the logo has waves on it, although it kinda looks like it says 13 May '09, so I thought I'd ask the experts! Thanks for any help.

E: I'm more and more sure that it's 13 May 2009. Unfortunately the card has been bent and can no longer be reused, probably why it was in a book I guess...

It is a single ride pre-purchased ticket which has been used, hence "No Rides Left".
Multi-ride (10) versions would count down the number left each time it was validated.
This ticketing system has been out of use for a few years now, superceded by Opal.

The 7306 was a reference to the bus number, which in this case was actually 3306.
