Fare Transfer Rules

Examples of how to specify various fare schemes can be found in the fares page.

• Filename MUST be fare_transfer_rules_ft.txt
• File MUST contain a record for each transfer rule for fares.
• File MUST be a valid CSV file.
• The first line of each file MUST contain case-sensitive field names.
• Field names MUST NOT contain tabs, carriage returns or new lines.

File MUST contain the following attributes:

Required Attributes	Description
from_fare_period	An ID that identifies the fare_period that the passenger is coming from.
to_fare_period	An ID that identifies the fare_period that the passenger is going to.
transfer_fare_type	One of:
-	transfer_cost: assumes that the full value fare is not paid again
-	transfer_discount: is a subtraction from the cumulative fare
-	transfer_free: is a ridiculous way to say "free transfer"
transfer_fare	If transfer_fare_type == transfer_free, this column is ignored. Otherwise, this must be a non-negative value in whatever the fare currency that is added to the initial fare (in the case of a transfer cost) or subtracted from the combined fare of the segments (in the case of transfer discount).
