A State Transit "Fares Policy" circa 1990

posted Tuesday 16 October 2007
A State Transit Authority booklet, undated, but from around 1989-90, contains the following, under the heading "FARES POLICY":

"The Corporate Plan define's State Transit's fares and ticketing policy. Fares must be approved by the Government to make sure that they are fair to all passengers and achieve the aims of encouraging more people to travel by public transport and reduce congestion on the roads.

It is important to make fares simpler to understand and use, so that no customer or potential customer is deterred from travelling by bus or ferry.

Emphasis on pre-sold and multi-trip tickets is designed to speed up services, reduce costs and discourage fare evasion. New technology will make the issuing of tickets more and more efficient."
