A lot of you are on the right track. I know what this song is about as I saw it on a documentary of The Beatles. The song was actually called Ticket to Rye. But when the Beatles came over to the states, the music label they were under made them change the title to Ticket To Ride. Why you ask? Because Rye was a city in the UK where a woman could get an abortion. Listen to the song, and you will see what the song is about. The man wants the woman to get an abortion but "she don't care."
She said that living with me,
Is bringing her down yeh,
For she would never be free when I was around.
She’s got a ticket to Rye,
She’s got a ticket to Ryeeee,
She’s got a ticket to Rye, but she don’t care.
I don’t know why she’s riding so high,
She ought to think twice,
She ought to do right by me.
I think I’m gonna be sad,
I think it’s today, yeh,
The girl that’s driving me mad,
Is going away.
She’s got a ticket to Rye,
She’s got a ticket to Ryeeee,
She’s got a ticket to Rye, but she don’t care.
And for those who think that it went from Rye to Ride as a translation mistake... No...
But here is the definitive answer to the questions.
Good day.
I always there was something more to this, I thought it was an interesting title as it could be changed to many things without disrupting the song. So there must be some significance, and if Rye was a place where a girl could get an abortion then maybe he is upset that she is going to get it done and "she don't care" what he feels. the line "She ought to do right by me." makes so much sense then.

If this is not the case, what the yell does ticket to ride mean. On the prostitution angle, what does she not care about.
Actually:
According to A Hard Day's Write by Steve Turner, many Americans concluded the "ticket" was from British Railways, and "ride" was the town of Ryde on the Isle of Wight. McCartney confessed to his biographer Barry Miles that they were partly right. Paul had a cousin who ran a bar in Ryde and he and John had visited them there. Paul later mentioned that although the song was primarily about a girl riding out of the life of the narrator, they were conscious of the potential for a double meaning.
