fare system

A fare system is the method by which transportation providers charge passengers for rides. It typically considers factors like distance traveled, time spent, service type, or zones crossed. Modern systems often use electronic ticketing or contactless payments, automatically calculating fares based on where and when you travel. The goal is to ensure fair, efficient, and convenient payment, whether through tickets, cards, or mobile apps. Fare systems also include pricing policies, discounts, and fare caps to make transportation accessible and equitable for all users.
