Create Fares

In this article, you will learn how to upload fares to the GO7 PSS system.

Fares are one of the 5 steps required to get results in the AVL search, therefore they must be accurate and updated.

You create separate fares for each route and each class on your route-map.

Creating a New Fare:

  1. Go to Marketing (module) -> Fares (sub-module).
  2. Click on the 'add new' icon.
