Fare capping

How it is used

Used in pay-as-you-go transport; the cap's period and eligible journeys depend on the system.

Example sentences

1. Fare capping meant our later bus rides added nothing to that day's total.

   After the relevant cap is reached, eligible extra journeys may add no charge.

2. We used the same card for every trip so the fare capping system could group them together.

   The system needs to associate the journeys with the same payment record.
