Adding Fare Costs

A site that has a simple fare structure (for example, flat fare for all services and areas) needs only to define one fare cost named, for example, Regular. However, a site with a complex faring structure might define multiple fare cost names.

Your site may operate with a complex faring structure that is dependent on the following items:
  • Types of service (for example, regular and express)
  • Modes of transportation (for example, buses, light rail, ferries)
  • Zones that are subject to different fares.
  • Transfers

For each of these, you need to define a fare cost name.

  1. Open the Fare Details tab of the FX-Fares dialog.
  2. In the Detail Type list, choose Fare Costs.
  3. In the Description field, type a description of the fare cost. Examples of multiple fare costs are:
    • Regular and Express: Develop fares for different types of service
    • Rail: Develops fares for a distinct mode of transportation
    • Zone A and Zone B: Develop fares for travel based on the areas of a trip’s origin or destination.
    • One Zone and Two Zones: Develop fares depending on how many zones you travel through.
  4. Click Add.
    The fare cost is added and an ID number automatically assigned to it.
  5. For each additional fare cost, repeat steps 3 and 4.

Once you have defined all the required fare costs, you can assign fares to each fare cost.
