# The Penalty Fares (Increase) Order (Northern Ireland) 2016, Note: Explanatory note


(This note is not part of the Order)
Schedule 1B to the Transport Act (Northern Ireland) 1967 (as inserted by SI 1990/994 (N.I. 7)) makes provision for penalty fares to be paid by a person who travels on a bus or a 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 £20.
This Order increases that amount by an additional £30 to £50.
