<p>The destination printed on a bus ticket should not have any effect on the amount
of reimbursement that the bus operator receives for carrying concessionary passengers.</p><p>
</p><p>This is because reimbursement paid to operators is not based on the full commercial
adult fare for a typical journey, but on the average equivalent full fare – taken
from a “basket of fares” – that each concessionary traveller would have paid in the
absence of the scheme.</p><p> </p><p>Reimbursement payments are also subject to audits
of ticket sales data and, if required, ‘on-bus’ surveys of patronage.</p><p> </p>
