On-board vehicle, at point of sale

This practice relates to passengers purchasing fares on the vehicle either from the crew or from an automated vending machine installed on the vehicle. The fare validation process is generally integrated with the fare sale process, though pre-printed tickets then need to be marked or torn to prevent their re-use.

However, where the fare collection system is primarily based on off-vehicle sales, any tickets purchased on the vehicle will need to be validated in the standard manner and subject to the same controls.
