sec.218D When a person using a token evades payment of a fare in relation to an approved vehicle

This section sets out, for section 218C (1) , the circumstances in which a person using a token evades payment of a fare in relation to the use or hire of an approved vehicle. If a person travels or attempts to travel on an approved vehicle using a token for the journey, the person evades payment of a fare in relation to the vehicle if the person does not, without a reasonable excuse, tap on the token for the journey— for a journey that starts at a station with fare gates—on or before entering an area of the station that is inside the fare gates; or otherwise—on or before starting the journey. However, subsection (2) (a) does not apply in relation to a person who is in an area of a station that is inside the fare gates because the person has exited from an approved vehicle into the area. Subsection (5) applies if— a person has travelled on an approved vehicle; and the person tapped on a token for the journey. The person evades payment of a fare in relation to the approved vehicle if the person does not, without a reasonable excuse, tap off the token for the journey— for an approved vehicle that has a token reader—on exiting the vehicle; or otherwise—on or before entering an area that is outside the fare gates, or beyond the last token reader, at the station at which the person exited the vehicle. If a person is travelling on an approved vehicle using a token for the journey, the person evades payment of a fare in relation to the vehicle if the person, without a reasonable excuse— taps off the token for the journey before finishing the journey on the vehicle; or otherwise causes the payment of the fare for the journey to be processed, or the end of the journey to be recorded, before finishing the journey on the vehicle. s 218D ins 2020 SL No. 26 s 6 (sec.218D-ssec.1) This section sets out, for section 218C (1) , the circumstances in which a person using a token evades payment of a fare in relation to the use or hire of an approved vehicle.
