AUSTRALIAN CAPITAL TERRITORY

ROAD TRANSPORT (PUBLIC PASSENGER SERVICES)

MAXIMUM FARES DETERMINATION 2005 (No 1)

DISALLOWABLE INSTRUMENT: DI2005 - 32

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

This determination sets out the maximum fares for ACTION Authority regular route services.  The instrument amends the time period allowed for passengers to transfer from one bus to another bus or buses from within one hour from the time of purchase to ninety minutes from the time of purchase.  The amendment affects the following types of tickets:

•	Transfer (cash) ticket;
•	Faresaver 10 ticket; and
•	Student Faresaver 10 ticket

A change to the transfer time period of an additional 30 minutes will allow long-distance commuters additional time to make their connections without having to pay an additional fare and is in accordance with ACTION’s advertised “One Fare Anywhere” ticket system.

The maximum fare amounts remain unchanged.
