EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

Overview

This is the initial determination for maximum fares for regular route services under the Road Transport (Public Passenger Services) Act 2001, Section 23.

ACTION fares were previously determined and concession eligibility notified under the Motor Omnibus Services Act 1955 which was repealed on 1 December 2001.  

Details

The Determination sets out the fares for ACTION regular route services and reflects the introduction of a single zone fare.  The table (over) compares the new fares with the fares for single and all zones as determined in 2001.  Flat ares were introduced for student tickets on 23 July 2001.

The Determination also includes descriptions of each ticket type, and definitions of eligibility for concession fares, student fares and people who are eligible for free travel on ACTION services.
