PUBLIC TRANSPORT FARES AND TICKETING POLICY

In recent years, public transport fares and ticketing policy research has tended to focus on the investigation or review of specific issues or proposals. Rather less attention has been directed at reviewing general international practice in the fares and ticketing policy area. This paper provides a review of international fare systems, with an emphasis on comparing and contrasting those approaches favoured in Australia and in various international cities in developed countries. Specific aspects addressed in the paper include fare structures, time-of-day pricing, multi-trip and periodical tickets, concession fare policies, on- and off-vehicle ticketing and inter-modal and inter-operator ticketing.
