But the ticket price should be the same between 1-2 and 2-1 right? Wouldn't that be 10C2?

Lets say there are 10 stations viz 1, 2, 3,4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10.

Now from station 1 you may go to station 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 or 10. Thus total of 9 tickets are possible.

Similarly from station 2 you may go to station 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10. So total of 9 tickets are possible in this case too.

Similarly from every station you may go to every other station and 9 tickets are needed in every such case.

There are 10 such stations so total of $10*9$ tickets are possible/required by authorities.
