Worked Examples

Example 1: Adult Traveling 5 km During Peak Hours

Calculation:

  • Base Fare: $2.00
  • Distance Surcharge: 5 km × $0.15 = $0.75 (capped at $3.00)
  • Time Surcharge: Peak hours +$0.50
  • Passenger Discount: Adult (1.00)

Final Fare = ($2.00 + $0.75 + $0.50) × 1.00 = $3.25

Example 2: Senior Traveling 10 km During Off-Peak Hours

Calculation:

  • Base Fare: $2.00
  • Distance Surcharge: 10 km × $0.15 = $1.50 (capped at $3.00)
  • Time Surcharge: Off-peak +$0.25
  • Passenger Discount: Senior (0.70)

Final Fare = ($2.00 + $1.50 + $0.25) × 0.70 = $2.45
