Maximum fares are set in regulations with different rates for day/night and multi-seat hires\n- **Vehicle age limits** apply – generally 10 years for metropolitan taxis, 15 years for country taxis and other services, with some exceptions\n- **Transit barring orders** allow police or authorised persons to ban individuals from public transport for offences or bad behaviour, ranging from 72 hours to indefinite periods\n- **Accreditation** is required for operators, drivers, and booking services, with conditions about criminal history checks, reporting changes, and maintaining standards\n- **The South Australian Transport Subsidy Scheme (SATSS)** provides subsidised travel for eligible people, with strict rules about voucher use\n\n**Why it matters:**\nThese rules ensure passenger safety, set fair pricing, maintain service quality, and give authorities power to remove disruptive individuals from public transport. They balance industry flexibility with public protection – for example, allowing contract fares for long trips while capping metropolitan taxi rates, and requiring security measures while protecting privacy through strict camera footage handling rules."},"flash_summary_failed":{"failed":true,"reason":"A positive credit balance is required for all requests, including BYOK, so fallback providers remain available.
