What is the purpose of the penalty fee system?
ptc
The purpose of the penalty fee regime is to deter fare evasion. Collective instances and rise in fare evasion can translate into fare increase if left unchecked. It is thus imperative to curb fare evasion, thereby reducing fare leakage which in turn helps to safeguard the interests of the majority of passengers who pay the correct fares.
