Explanatory note
(This note is not part of the Order)
Schedule 1B to the Transport Act 1967 (as inserted by S.I. 1990/994 (N.I. 7) makes provision for penalty fares to be paid by a person who travels on a bus or train service without paying the proper fare.
Paragraph 4(1) of that Schedule provides that the amount of a penalty fare shall be the full single fare for the journey plus £5. The penalty fare was increased in 1991 to £10.
This Order increases that amount by an additional £10 to £20.
