fareoplysninger

Fareoplysninger is information about prices, validity rules, and conditions associated with public transport fares. It is produced by transit operators and public authorities and applies to buses, trains, trams, ferries, and other shared transport services. Fareoplysninger includes the pricing structure (base fare, zone or distance-based pricing, peak and off-peak rates), the range of ticket products (single-ride tickets, day passes, multi-ride cards, season tickets), and discount schemes (youth, student, senior, disabled, group rates). It also covers transfer rules, changes and refunds, and accepted payment methods (cash, card, mobile wallets), as well as where and how tickets can be purchased and validated.

Fare information is typically published at stations and on vehicles and is also accessible through official websites and mobile apps. In digital services, fare data may be distributed in machine-readable formats to support third-party apps and journey planners. Common data standards used include the GTFS family, such as GTFS-Fares, which encode fares, tickets, and rules to facilitate interoperability.

Quality fare information is important for user trust and system transparency. Operators are expected to keep prices and terms up to date, clearly communicate changes, and provide information on refunds, changes, and exceptions. Depending on jurisdiction, fare information may be governed by regulatory requirements regarding accuracy, accessibility, and consumer rights.
