Maybe we should do like Adelaide does, for short distance trips.
---------------------
Two Section Tickets
Once validated, each trip on a Multitrip TWO SECTION ticket cannot be used to transfer onto another service and is valid only for a journey that is no more than Two Sections (approx. 3kms).
Singletrip TWO SECTION tickets cannot be used to transfer onto another service once validated and are valid only for a journey that is no more than Two Sections (approx. 3kms).
Two Sections explained
A Two Section ticket allows you to travel two sections which generally works out to be around 3 kilometres in distance.
Unlike the Adelaide Metro Zone tickets, you are unable to transfer services within a two hour time period when travelling on a Two Section ticket. Two Section tickets are considerably cheaper than Zone tickets, making them an excellent choice for anyone living close to their desired destination. Two Section tickets are available in the following varieties;
- Multitrip and Singletrip All Times Two Section tickets which can be used at any time of any day.
- Multitrip and Singletrip Interpeak Two Section tickets which can only be used between 9.01am and 3.00pm Monday to Friday excluding public holidays.
All of these tickets can only be used for Two Sections or parts thereof and are not transferable. See map below for bus section examples.
Bus travel
The map below shows how to easily identify section points on a bus timetable route map.
