Create a smartcard split trip rule
| Split trip rule configurations allow for situations where a passenger will typically catch two or multiple buses where the fare types are different. For example, the first bus or portion of travel might be free, but the next portion of travel on a second bus will have a paid fare associated with it. The Split Trip Development allows the Operator to set rules for smartcard holders regarding their travel patterns and the fares that are duly charged to them. Traditionally, these rules are used for school children to help make the tap on and off process at interchange points simple for both the child and the driver. This feature is available if your company has purchased the Smartcard module. This is a standard feature for TMR Queensland's School Ticketing - QST. |
