Worked Examples

Example 1: Short Trip During Off-Peak Hours

For a 5 km trip during off-peak hours (10 minutes):

Base Fare: £3.50
Distance Charge: 5 km × £1.20/km = £6.00
Time Charge: 10 minutes × £0.15/minute = £1.50
Total Fare: £3.50 + £6.00 + £1.50 = £11.00

Example 2: Long Trip During Peak Hours

For a 20 km trip during peak hours (30 minutes):

Base Fare: £3.50
Distance Charge: 20 km × £1.20/km = £24.00
Time Charge: 30 minutes × £0.25/minute = £7.50
