All railroads issuing season tickets between points within the commonwealth shall, at the request of a holder of a season ticket, reimburse said holder for the cost of the fares paid by said holder between the stations named on the ticket whenever said holder fails to present the season ticket for fare. The holder of a season ticket in order to be entitled to reimbursement must, within one week, present to the proper officer of the railroad company the certificate given at the time of paying the fare together with the coupon from the season ticket.
