I've seen it in a few places, and it's common on the London Underground where you have a peak/off-peak fare - you're charged for pay as you go and it's your responsibility to know which fare you're going to be charged for the journey.
It's also common on the trains, where most have a peak price (usually only in the morning).
For season tickets (monthly, yearly), all fares are usually included (i.e. your pass allows you to travel any time, very rare to find an "off peak only" seasonal pass, although some people, like OAPs have them).
- yellowsir 9y agoimo: this makes no sence, soudn't their be rushour discounts, so cities have more space without all the cars arround?
- seszett 9y agoIt makes sense in large European cities because people won't take their car (if they even have one) because transit is more expensive during rush hour, instead they will try to adjust the time they use transit. And yeah, to answer GP I had forgotten that London has such a system that makes it quite easy to implement different fares for off-peak travel, I'm more used to places with fixed fares.
