fix pass after the independent check of the batch. SIM Card: both operator price pages were opened in a browser and print the stored prices, so the sentence saying they had not rendered is gone. Public Transport Passes: the pass card name that the operator's pages do not print in text was removed. The record's researcher and verification date now name this run, and the two operator sources carry today's date.
