Public transport - Network and Timetable Exchange (NeTEx) - Part 3: Public transport fares exchange format
 N CEN/TS 16614-3

Annotation

General

NeTEx is dedicated to the exchange of scheduled data (network, timetable and fare information). It is based on Transmodel V5.1 (EN 12986), IFOPT (EN 28701) and SIRI (CEN/TS 15531-4, CEN/TS 15531-5 and EN 15531-1, EN 15531-2, EN 15531-31) and supports the exchange of information of relevance for passenger information about public transport services and also for running Automated Vehicle Monitoring Systems (AVMS).

NOTE NeTEx is a refinement and an implementation of Transmodel and IFOPT; the definitions and explanations of these concepts are extracted directly from the respective standard and reused in NeTEx, sometimes with adaptations in order to fit the NeTEx context. Although the data exchanges targeted by NeTEx are predominantly oriented towards provisioning passenger information systems and AVMS with data from transit scheduling systems, it is not restricted to this purpose and NeTEx can also provide an effective solution to many other use cases for transport data exchange.

Fares scope

This Part 3 of NeTEx, is specifically concerned with the exchange of fare structures and fare data, using data models that relate to the underlying network and timetable models defined in Part 1 and Part 2 and the Fare Collection data model defined in Transmodel V51. See the use cases below for the overall scope of Part 3. In summary, it is concerned with data for the following purposes:

(i) To describe the many various possible fare structures that arise in public transport (for example, flat fares, zonal fares, time dependent fares, distance based fares, stage fares, pay as you go fares, season passes, etc., etc.).
