Separate fares

Separate fares

1) Separate fares in the context of PSV operation are those:

- paid directly to the bus or coach company by the passenger either on the vehicle or in advance;

- paid indirectly through a booking agency, ticket office or via any other organization; and

- where the payment for travel is included in an overall package price, as in the case of holiday and tour bookings, sports and leisure outings.

Where an organization makes a lump sum payment to an operator for the hire of a bus or coach but the passengers are not required to make any contribution towards the cost of travel and the coach operator was not responsible for arranging the outing or assembling the passengers, this is not counted as separate fares for these purposes.
