Bases to zone tariff
The zone tariffs became generally accepted in Germany and to form today in the traffic groups the basis for the price calculation. With zone tariff several stops and critical points in an area are together seized to a tariff place and for those Price calculation as one point of tariff regards. Zone tariff is based thus on mixing prices. The zone tariffs are differentiated with respect to your form. This different forms are however only variants. The price calculation is by the summary that many stops to a tariff place more simply. There are fewer tariff places and thus is the tariff more clearly.
With zone tariff some stops are together seized to a zone. E.G. all stops of one Municipality or a convention community. This Union of the stops in this Tarifzone in the price calculation as one point of tariff one regards. For this Mischkalkulationen for the list zone tariff are determined. By this artificial reduction of the stops veringert itself the number of possible relations for the price calculation substantially. This has advantages in that Automation. The zone tariffs are in principle More automat-fairly and clear make possible Looking plans.
With zone tariffs, into which large areas are combined into one point of tariff, the problem develops that the price of transportation for short distances becomes too expensive. If the passenger drives to only two or three stops within a municipality, then it is hardly to be interspersed that the passenger is to pay the expensive mixing calculation price. Therefore it often gives in wide zone tariffs a short-distance ticket. This ticket is in relation to the regular price of transportation rabattiert and applies only on a short distance section.
Zone tariffs can be illustrated and represented in different forms. Good and clear zone tariffs can be explained easily and are simple about passengers to understand. Assume that the inventors zone tariff at least.
