"вагон" should really be translated as "carriage", at least in English. Not so sure about American.

    Yes, calling it a car is common in American English (like, car #5 on the ticket)

    OK - so can we have the UK English version accepted as well, or not?

      Yes please, "carriage" or "car", even though both necessitate context

        How about 'wagon' as another translation?

            Правда? Дивись! Я маю квиток! / Ось мій квиток!

            (we tend not to say "I have my ticket" = "Я маю свій квиток" but rather just "I have a/the ticket" since it's kind of clear that if you have it it's yours and it sound slightly redundant)

            Answer:

            Дійсно. Вибачте. Це ваш вагон! Заходьте, будь ласка.
