Under 5
Up to three children under the age of 5 may accompany an adult fare paying customer or an adult in possession of a valid pass or permit (including a concessionary pass) free of charge providing they do not occupy a seat required by an adult customer.
Where a child under 5 is accompanied by another youth fare customer then either both pay the youth fare or one should pay the adult fare and the other travel free. Obviously the second option will be the cheaper.
Unaccompanied children under 5 will be charged at the appropriate youth fare for the journey being made.
