San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency - Parking Ticket Data over a 1 month period.

As one who is always concerned about how many digits to make a Unique ID number, it seems that the SFMTA Parking Ticket numbers are getting used up at a super fast rate. 

  
I got 4 tickets over a 1 mont period.. so I wanted to use the data for something. 

 At this rate they use up over 700,000 numbers in a month.

 Note: I altered the last 4 digits.  Also .. I'm assuming they use a check digit and skip numbers in the sequence to avoid input errors.
