2 Assignment Model
2.6.2 It should be noted that, as noted in Table 2.2, the maximum perceived wait time will be
capped at 60 minutes for all modes.

2.7 Fares Model
2.7.1 The Fares Model for the TMfS:07 Model is based on a set of flat and distance-based Fare
Tables for different PT operators.
2.7.2 The distance-based Fare Tables consist of a set of distances and fares that define points on a
curve. For distances between two fixed points in the table, the Fares Model will linearly
interpolate to determine the modelled fare. Fare tables for bus and rail have been defined
based on analysis of scatter plots showing fare versus distance for each modelled PT
operator. Average fare curves were then prepared. For subway and ferry services flat fare
tables were derived based on operator data and in the case of ferries a weighted 'average'
fare was derived using an estimated proportion of ticket sales. Further details are available
on request.
2.7.3 Modelled rail fares are described in Table 2.4.
