Ticket type – Basis tab

Element

Description

Number

Number of the ticket type

Name

Name of the ticket type

Use frequency

The use frequency of the ticket type indicates the average number of single trips of a season ticket within its validity period.

Rank

Rank of a ticket type in the hierarchy of the ticket types

Note

This setting is only relevant if several ticket types are defined in the fare system. The lower the number, the higher the preference given to this ticket type per fare zone x demand segment (Fundamentals: Ticket selection in a fare system).

Fare structure

In the list with the options of fare modeling, click the fare structure that is suitable for this ticket type (Fundamentals: Base fare calculation):

  • Zone-based fare
  • Distance-based fare
  • From-To zone-based fare
  • Short-distance fare
  • Time-based fare
  • Direct distance fare

Calculation of distance-based supplements

Use the list to specify how to calculate distance-based supplements of transport systems.

Proportionally

The distance-based supplement of a transport system is determined on the basis of the sum of fare points for all TSys and then weighted with the share of the transport system on the path. The distance-based total supplement of the connection results from the sum of the supplements calculated by TSys.

Supplement by TSys = number of fare points of TSys / total number of fare points for all TSys • TSys supplement for total number of fare points

Additively

The distance-based supplement of a transport system is determined on the basis of the number of fare points traversed with this TSys. The distance-based total supplement of the connection results from the sum of the supplements calculated by TSys.

Supplement by TSys = TSys supplement for the number of fare points of TSys

Fixed supplements

Use the list to specify when to apply fixed supplements.

Apply once per transport system

For a connection, the fixed supplement for a transport system is applied once, even if the transport system is used on two separate path legs (default).

Apply to the top-ranking transport system only

For a connection, a fixed supplement is applied which is the supplement that has been set for the top-ranking transport system. The maximum of the supplements will be applied if there are equivalent ranks.

Apply to path leg

Instead of just once per connection, the fixed TSys supplement is applied for each path leg of the connection. The supplement is thus applied twice if two path legs use the same transport system which is subject to a supplement.

Consider all stops with a matching transport system

If this option is selected, all stops that are open for the transport systems of the lines in operation are taken into account when determining the relevant fare zones.
Only consider stops with a stop of the time profile If this option is selected, only those stops will be considered at which stops of the time profile exist when determining the relevant fare zones.

Use fare zone type

If this option is selected, an additional spatial condition is included in the calculation of fares for the fare structures distance-based fare, short-distance fare, time-based fare, and direct distance fare. This condition is the belonging of stops to a specific fare zone. It is a prerequisite for the use of a ticket type, that all stops of the regarded path leg set are located within the permitted fare zones.

If the option has not been checked, the belonging to a fare zone does not enter the fare calculation in case of distance-based fares or time-based fares.

Note

The option is always active in the Zone-based fare structure, the option is always inactive in the From-To zone-based fare structure. The option cannot be changed in these cases.

Fare zone type

Indicates which fare zone is selected for the ticket type. The option is not relevant for ticket types with Fare structure = From-to zone-based fare.

Note

This field is only active if option Use fare zone type has been selected.

Allocated fare zones

Number of allocated fare zones

Used by fare systems

Numbers of the fare systems that currently use this ticket type (Defining fare systems)

Ticket type – Fares tab (depends on the fare structure)

Fares tab for Distance-based fare

Element

Description

Number of fare points

For each fare level, enter the number of fare points that may be traversed.

Interpolate

Select the option if the values shall be interpolated for the fare level.

Fare

User-defined fare per row. Edit the values directly in the list.

Fares tab for Zone-based fare

Element

Description

Number of fare zones

For each fare level, enter the number of fare points that may be traversed. The cardinalities of the fare zones also enter the determination of traversed fare zones as well as the Fare zones being traversed multiple times are counted multiple times option.

Fare

User-defined fare per row. Edit the values directly in the list.

Fares tab for From-To zone-based fare

Element

Description

From fare zone / To fare zone

Use the buttons to specify in a separate window between which fare zones the fare shall be valid.

Notes

If you do not specify a combination, no ticket will exist for it.

Fare

User-defined fare for the specified combination of fare zones

Note

The fare does not have to be symmetrical for the two directions of a relation.

Create opposite direction

Mark a row and click this button to add another row with the fare zones at the cross position, to which the same fare applies. If this row already exists, only the fare will be updated.

Fares tab for Short distance fare

Element

Description

Maximum duration

Max. run time in minutes to which the short-distance fare applies

Notes

If this option is not relevant, you need to enter a very high value.

Maximum distance

Max. distance in km to which the short-distance fare applies

Notes

If this option is not relevant, you need to enter a very high value.

Maximum number of stops

Max. number of stops to which the short-distance fare applies

Note

If this option is not relevant, you need to enter a very high value.

Fare

User-defined fare for the specified conditions

Ticket type – Count fare zones tab (Zone-based fare / From-To zone-based fare)

Note: This tab is only provided if the ticket type has either fare structure: Zone-based fare or From-To zone-based fare.

Element

Description

Ignore stops without fare zone

If the option is selected, the calculation will not report an error if there is a stop on the path that is not associated with a fare zone of the specified type.

Note

By default, the option is not selected.

Count multiple passes through fare zones multiple times

If the option is selected, the program counts multiple passes of the same fare zone multiple times as long as the traversed stops differ. This generally leads to a higher fare.

Example

Stop 1 and stop 2 are allocated to fare zone A. Stop 3 belongs to fare zone B. If a path leads from stop 1 to 2 to 3, two fare zones are counted. Another path leads from stop 1 to 3 to 2. Here, three fare zones are counted. If a path leads from stop 1 to 3 and then back to 1, two fare zones are counted, because stop 1 has already been passed.

User-defined cardinalities

User-defined cardinalities

If the option has been selected, fare zones can be weighted based on a numeric, integer attribute. Fare zones are counted according to their weighting, which results in increasing fares.

Select the Attribute for cardinality in a separate window via the corresponding button.

Ignore the cardinalities of first and last fare zones

If the option has been selected, first and last fare zones are not weighted.

Note

Fare zones can be weighted and simultaneously be counted repeatedly.

Ticket type – Supplements tab

Element

Description

TSys code

TSys code to which the supplement applies

TSys name

Name of the transport system to which the supplement applies.

Fixed fare

Constant supplement in [currency units] for using the transport system

Minimum fare

Minimum fare for a passenger journey using this transport system. If the total fare resulting from the basic fare and the added supplement is still below this minimum fare value, then this minimum fare is charged.

Rank

In addition, you can define different ranks. Optionally only the TSys-specific supplement of the topmost rank (smallest rank no.) can enter the fare. If the ranks are equal, only the maximum supplement is charged.

Has distance supplement

Specify whether a fare point based distance supplement shall be charged.

You set the supplement using the Distance button. In another window you define how the supplement is calculated depending on the distance covered in the transport system.

Note

The distance is modeled in fare points.

Apply values

Via this button you can apply the TSys-specific supplements defined for a different ticket type to the current ticket type. Select the different ticket type in the drop-down list.
