Domestic Ticket

General Observation

Aztec barcode, in PDF or image
Variable length
For domestic tickets only, international ones use RCT2 in UIC 918.3 container
zlib compressed textual payload starting at offset 3.
zlib decompressed content is plain text and hardly larger than the full compressed data, which suggests the compressed data doesn't span the full length of the barcode (signature?).

Binary Structure

Offset	Format	Meaning	Notes
0	0x04	?	fixed value
1-2	16 bit BE	?	varies with length?
3-4	0x78 0x9C	zlib marker
5+	zlib	see below
?	?	?	high entropy data, signature?
-16	0x00	?	last 16 bytes are always 0x00
