## Research questions

### Can several regional journeys share one fare?

TfL's Hopper rule allows multiple eligible bus and tram journeys within its stated time window using the same card or device. A journey count therefore need not equal a count of separately charged fares. This is a London fare example, not a category sales benchmark.

### Can a campaign estimate transport revenue by multiplying rides by a single fare?

TfL publishes daily and weekly bus-and-tram caps as well as individual pay-as-you-go fares. A capped customer's total need not equal an uncapped ride-by-ride calculation. Use the applicable fare product and paid amount when evaluating revenue from increased travel.

### Does a pass purchase mean each later journey is another acquired sale?

TfL sells bus-and-tram passes for stated periods alongside pay-as-you-go travel. Distinguish the purchased pass from the journeys it supports when assessing a pass promotion. Subsequent use alone does not establish another payment or another newly acquired customer.

### Why might a transport fare charge later need correction?

TfL explains that missed touch-in or touch-out, or use of different cards, can create maximum fares with potential refunds. Review corrected fare records before treating an anomalously high charge as higher customer value. The touch rules also differ for buses and trams.
