-
Configure the rates using the fare builder.
Yellow: Minimum and maximum values for the tariff.
Green: Fare stages of the tariff.
Blue: Waiting time stages for the tariff. - For example, if you wanted to set up a tariff starting at £5 with the first 2 miles free, and charging £2 after the first 2 miles, you would set this up as follows:
Note: A new tariff block will appear underneath the default blocks when you enter a value into the To (mi) or To (mins) fields. - To cap your template off at a maximum charge, enter a value in the Max Cost and Max Price boxes. You can leave these options blank if you do not want a maximum charge set.
- Check the fare breakdown in the right-hand table. As you can see from our example the cost and price increase by £2 after the second mile:
- At this point, you can configure which capability the fare applies to or leave it to automatically apply to the default capability. If adding capability charges, move to the next step. If not, save your template by clicking the Create button.
- To change which capability the fare applies to click on Add Capability.
- Select a capability or multiple from the list and click Confirm. You can use to (+) All button to add all capabilities within the list.
- Then click I'm Sure to clone the fare to each capability.
The fare breakdown table then updates with the added capabilities. - To change the fare for each capability added click on Capability Tariff and select a capability from the dropdown menu.
- Then edit the fare builder to update the fare for the selected capability.
- Once you have finished editing your capabilities, select the + Create button to save your template.
