(Main)Public transport - Network and Timetable Exchange (NeTEx) - Part 3: Public transport fares exchange format
Public transport - Network and Timetable Exchange (NeTEx) - Part 3: Public transport fares exchange format
1.1 General
NeTEx is dedicated to the exchange of scheduled data (network, timetable and fare information). It is based on Transmodel V5.1 (EN 12986), IFOPT (EN 28701) and SIRI (CEN/TS 15531-4/5 and EN 15531-1/2/3 ) and supports the exchange of information of relevance for passenger information about public transport services and also for running Automated Vehicle Monitoring Systems (AVMS).
NOTE NeTEx is a refinement and an implementation of Transmodel and IFOPT; the definitions and explanations of these concepts are extracted directly from the respective standard and reused in NeTEx, sometimes with adaptations in order to fit the NeTEx context. Although the data exchanges targeted by NeTEx are predominantly oriented towards provisioning passenger information systems and AVMS with data from transit scheduling systems, it is not restricted to this purpose and NeTEx can also provide an effective solution to many other use cases for transport data exchange.
1.2 Fares scope
This Part3 of NeTEx, is specifically concerned with the exchange of fare structures and fare data, using data models that relate to the underlying network and timetable models defined in Part1 and Part2 and the Fare Collection data model defined in Transmodel V51. See the use cases below for the overall scope of Part3. In summary, it is concerned with data for the following purposes:
(i) To describe the many various possible fare structures that arise in public transport (for example, flat fares, zonal fares, time dependent fares, distance-based fares, stage fares, pay as you go fares, season passes, etc., etc.).
(ii) To describe the fare products that may be purchased having these fare structures and to describe the conditions that may attach to particular fares, for example if restricted to specific groups of users, or subject to temporal restrictions. These conditions may be complex.
(i) To allow actual price data to be exchanged. Note however that NeTEx does not itself specify pricing algorithms or how fares should be calculated. This is the concern of Fare Management Systems. It may be used may be used to exchange various parameters required for pricing calculations that are needed to explain or justify a fare.
(iii) To include the attributes and the text descriptions necessary to present fares and their conditions of sale and use to the public.
NeTEx should be regarded as being ‘upstream’ of retail systems and allows fare data to be managed and integrated with journey planning and network data in public facing information systems. It is complementary to and distinct from the ‘downstream’ ticketing and retail systems that sell fares and of the control systems that validate their use. See ‘Excluded Use Cases’ below for further information on the boundaries of NeTEx with Fare Management Systems.
1.3 Transport modes
All mass public transport modes are taken into account by NeTEx, including train, bus, coach, metro, tramway, ferry, and their submodes. It is possible to describe airports, air journeys, and air fares, but there has not been any specific consideration of any additional requirements that apply specifically to air transport.

This Technical Specification is made up of three parts defining a single European Standard series,
which provides a complete exchange format for public transport networks, timetable description
and fare information.
• Part 1 is the description of the public transport network topology exchange format. It also
contains use cases shared with part 2, and modelling rules and the description of a framework
shared by all parts.
• Part 2 is the description of the scheduled timetables exchange format.
• Part 3 is the description of the fare information exchange format.
Part 1 is fully standalone, and part 2 and 3 rely on part 1.
The XML schema can be downloaded from http://netex-cen.eu, along with available guidance on its

CEN/TS 16614-3:2020 (E)
Introduction
Public transport services rely increasingly on information systems to ensure reliable, efficient operation
and widely accessible, accurate passenger information. These systems are used for a range of specific
purposes: setting schedules and timetables; managing vehicle fleets; publicising fares, issuing tickets
and receipts; providing real-time information on service running, and so on.
The first two parts of the European Technical Specification NeTEx specify a Network and Timetable
Exchange for Public Transport. It is intended to be used to exchange data relating to scheduled public
transport between the systems of PT organisations. It can also be seen as complementary to the SIRI
(Service Interface for Real-time Information) standard, as SIRI needs a prior exchange of reference data
from NeTEx’s scope to provide the necessary context for the subsequent exchange of a real-time data.
This document (NeTEx – Part 3) specifies exchanges of Public Transport fares between systems and
organisations. It is a complement to Part 1 and Part 2 in the sense that it uses a subset of concepts
defined there.
Well-defined, open interfaces have a crucial role in improving the economic and technical viability of
Public Transport Information Systems of all kinds. Using standardised interfaces, systems can be
implemented as discrete pluggable modules that can be chosen from a wide variety of suppliers in a
competitive market, rather than as monolithic proprietary systems from a single supplier. Interfaces
also allow the systematic automated testing of each functional module, vital for managing the
complexity of increasing large and dynamic systems. Furthermore, individual functional modules can be
replaced or evolved, without unexpected breakages of obscurely dependent function.
This standard will improve a number of features of public transport information and service
management: Interoperability – the standard will facilitate interoperability between information
processing systems of the transport operators by: (i) introducing common architectures for message
exchange; (ii) introducing a modular set of compatible information services, (iii) using common data
models and schemas for the messages exchanged for each service; and (iv) introducing a consistent
approach to data management.
Technical advantages include the following: a modular reusing of a common communication layer
shared with SIRI for all the various technical services enables cost-effective implementations, and
makes the standard readily extensible in future.

1 Scope
1.1 General
NeTEx is dedicated to the exchange of scheduled data (network, timetable and fare information). It is
based on Transmodel V5.1 (EN 12986), IFOPT (EN 28701) and SIRI (CEN/TS 15531-4/5 and EN 15531-
1
1/2/3 ) and supports the exchange of information of relevance for passenger information about public
transport services and also for running Automated Vehicle Monitoring Systems (AVMS).
NOTE NeTEx is a refinement and an implementation of Transmodel and IFOPT; the definitions and
explanations of these concepts are extracted directly from the respective standard and reused in NeTEx,
sometimes with adaptations in order to fit the NeTEx context. Although the data exchanges targeted by
NeTEx are predominantly oriented towards provisioning passenger information systems and AVMS
with data from transit scheduling systems, it is not restricted to this purpose and NeTEx can also
provide an effective solution to many other use cases for transport data exchange.
1.2 Fares scope
This Part 3 of NeTEx, is specifically concerned with the exchange of fare structures and fare data, using
data models that relate to the underlying network and timetable models defined in Part 1 and Part 2 and
the Fare Collection data model defined in Transmodel V51. See the use cases below for the overall scope
of Part 3. In summary, it is concerned with data for the following purposes:
(i) To describe the many various possible fare structures that arise in public transport (for
example, flat fares, zonal fares, time dependent fares, distance-based fares, stage fares, pay
as you go fares, season passes, etc., etc.).
(ii) To describe the fare products that may be purchased having these fare structures and to
describe the conditions that may attach to particular fares, for example if restricted to
specific groups of users, or subject to temporal restrictions. These conditions may be
complex.
(i) To allow actual price data to be exchanged. Note however that NeTEx does not itself specify
pricing algorithms or how fares should be calculated. This is the concern of Fare
Management Systems. It may be used may be used to exchange various parameters required
for pricing calculations that are needed to explain or justify a fare.
(iii) To include the attributes and the text descriptions necessary to present fares and their
conditions of sale and use to the public.
NeTEx should be regarded as being ‘upstream’ of retail systems and allows fare data to be managed and
integrated with journey planning and network data in public facing information systems. It is
complementary to and distinct from the ‘downstream’ ticketing and retail systems that sell fares and of
the control systems that validate their use. See ‘Excluded Use Cases’ below for further information on
the boundaries of NeTEx with Fare Management Systems.

1.3 Transport modes
All mass public transport modes are taken into account by NeTEx, including train, bus, coach, metro,
tramway, ferry, and their submodes. It is possible to describe airports, air journeys, and air fares, but
there has not been any specific consideration of any additional requirements that apply specifically to
air transport.
1.4 Compatibility with existing standards and recommendations
The overall approach for the definition of fares within NeTEx Part 3 follows the approach used by
Transmodel V5.1, namely the definition of access rights rather than of just products.
This approach, used in Transmodel V5.1 (Fare Collection data model) to specify the access rights related
to the urban public transport (for all urban modes) has been extended to cover access rights for long-
distance rail.
NOTE The concepts from Transmodel V5.1 and IFOPT used and/or modified by NeTEx are incorporated into
Transmodel V6 to guarantee compatibility and coherence of standards.
Concepts covered in NeTEx Part 1 and 2 that relate in particular to long-distance train travel include;
rail operators and related organizations; stations and related equipment; journey coupling and journey
parts; train composition and facilities; planned passing times; timetable versions and validity conditions
and train routing restrictions.
In the case of long distance train access rights, NeTEx takes into account the requirements formulated
by the ERA (European Rail Agency) – TAP/TSI (Telematics Applications for Passenger/ Technical
Specification for Interoperability, entered into force on 13 May 2011 as the Commission Regulation (EU)
No 454/2011), based on UIC directives. These relate in particular to the B1 (Non Reservation Tickets),
B2 (Integrated Reservation Tickets) and B3 (Special Fares) along with various UIC Leaflets.
As regards the other exchange protocols for network and timetable exchanges, a formal compatibility is
ensured with TransXChange (UK), VDV 452 (Germany), NEPTUNE (France), BISON (The Netherlands)
and NOPTIS (Nordic Public Transport Interface Standard).
The exchange of data in NeTEx format can be undertaken using a variety of protocols. For example:
through dedicated web services, through data file exchanges, or by using the SIRI exchange protocol as
described in part 2 of the SIRI documentation. NeTEx adds additional services using the common SIRI
transport mechanism.

“Intelligent transport systems”, the secretariat of which is held by NEN.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject
of patent rights. CEN shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
This document supersedes CEN/TS 16614-3:2016.
This document presents Part 3 of the European Technical Specification known as “NeTEx”. NeTEx
provides a framework for specifying communications and data exchange protocols for
organisations wishing to exchange scheduled Information relating to public transport operations.
This Technical Specification is made up of three parts defining a single European Standard series,
which provides a complete exchange format for public transport networks, timetable description
and fare information.
• Part 1 is the description of the public transport network topology exchange format. It also
contains use cases shared with part 2, and modelling rules and the description of a framework
shared by all parts.
• Part 2 is the description of the scheduled timetables exchange format.
• Part 3 is the description of the fare information exchange format.
Part 1 is fully standalone, and part 2 and 3 rely on part 1.
The XML schema can be downloaded from http://netex-cen.eu, along with available guidance on its
use, example XML files, and case studies of national and local deployments.
This document is highly technical, and a special care has been taken to keep the text readable. In
particular a set of formatting conventions is followed that enhances the usual CEN writing rules in
order to distinguish references to elements of the formal models within text:

Introduction
Public transport services rely increasingly on information systems to ensure reliable, efficient operation
and widely accessible, accurate passenger information. These systems are used for a range of specific
purposes: setting schedules and timetables; managing vehicle fleets; publicising fares, issuing tickets
and receipts; providing real-time information on service running, and so on.
The first two parts of the European Technical Specification NeTEx specify a Network and Timetable
Exchange for Public Transport. It is intended to be used to exchange data relating to scheduled public
transport between the systems of PT organisations. It can also be seen as complementary to the SIRI
(Service Interface for Real-time Information) standard, as SIRI needs a prior exchange of reference data
from NeTEx’s scope to provide the necessary context for the subsequent exchange of a real-time data.
This document (NeTEx – Part 3) specifies exchanges of Public Transport fares between systems and
organisations. It is a complement to Part 1 and Part 2 in the sense that it uses a subset of concepts
defined there.
Well-defined, open interfaces have a crucial role in improving the economic and technical viability of
Public Transport Information Systems of all kinds. Using standardised interfaces, systems can be
implemented as discrete pluggable modules that can be chosen from a wide variety of suppliers in a
competitive market, rather than as monolithic proprietary systems from a single supplier. Interfaces
also allow the systematic automated testing of each functional module, vital for managing the
complexity of increasing large and dynamic systems. Furthermore, individual functional modules can be
replaced or evolved, without unexpected breakages of obscurely dependent function.
This standard will improve a number of features of public transport information and service
management: Interoperability – the standard will facilitate interoperability between information
processing systems of the transport operators by: (i) introducing common architectures for message
exchange; (ii) introducing a modular set of compatible information services, (iii) using common data
models and schemas for the messages exchanged for each service; and (iv) introducing a consistent
approach to data management.
Technical advantages include the following: a modular reusing of a common communication layer
shared with SIRI for all the various technical services enables cost-effective implementations, and
makes the standard readily extensible in future.

1 Scope
1.1 General
NeTEx is dedicated to the exchange of scheduled data (network, timetable and fare information). It is
based on Transmodel V5.1 (EN 12986), IFOPT (EN 28701) and SIRI (CEN/TS 15531-4/5 and EN 15531-
1
1/2/3 ) and supports the exchange of information of relevance for passenger information about public
transport services and also for running Automated Vehicle Monitoring Systems (AVMS).
NOTE NeTEx is a refinement and an implementation of Transmodel and IFOPT; the definitions and
explanations of these concepts are extracted directly from the respective standard and reused in NeTEx,
sometimes with adaptations in order to fit the NeTEx context. Although the data exchanges targeted by
NeTEx are predominantly oriented towards provisioning passenger information systems and AVMS
with data from transit scheduling systems, it is not restricted to this purpose and NeTEx can also
provide an effective solution to many other use cases for transport data exchange.
1.2 Fares scope
This Part 3 of NeTEx, is specifically concerned with the exchange of fare structures and fare data, using
data models that relate to the underlying network and timetable models defined in Part 1 and Part 2 and
the Fare Collection data model defined in Transmodel V51. See the use cases below for the overall scope
of Part 3. In summary, it is concerned with data for the following purposes:
(i) To describe the many various possible fare structures that arise in public transport (for
example, flat fares, zonal fares, time dependent fares, distance-based fares, stage fares, pay
as you go fares, season passes, etc., etc.).
(ii) To describe the fare products that may be purchased having these fare structures and to
describe the conditions that may attach to particular fares, for example if restricted to
specific groups of users, or subject to temporal restrictions. These conditions may be
complex.
(i) To allow actual price data to be exchanged. Note however that NeTEx does not itself specify
pricing algorithms or how fares should be calculated. This is the concern of Fare
Management Systems. It may be used may be used to exchange various parameters required
for pricing calculations that are needed to explain or justify a fare.
(iii) To include the attributes and the text descriptions necessary to present fares and their
conditions of sale and use to the public.
NeTEx should be regarded as being ‘upstream’ of retail systems and allows fare data to be managed and
integrated with journey planning and network data in public facing information systems. It is
complementary to and distinct from the ‘downstream’ ticketing and retail systems that sell fares and of
the control systems that validate their use. See ‘Excluded Use Cases’ below for further information on
the boundaries of NeTEx with Fare Management Systems.

1.3 Transport modes
All mass public transport modes are taken into account by NeTEx, including train, bus, coach, metro,
tramway, ferry, and their submodes. It is possible to describe airports, air journeys, and air fares, but
there has not been any specific consideration of any additional requirements that apply specifically to
air transport.
1.4 Compatibility with existing standards and recommendations
The overall approach for the definition of fares within NeTEx Part 3 follows the approach used by
Transmodel V5.1, namely the definition of access rights rather than of just products.
This approach, used in Transmodel V5.1 (Fare Collection data model) to specify the access rights related
to the urban public transport (for all urban modes) has been extended to cover access rights for long-
distance rail.
NOTE The concepts from Transmodel V5.1 and IFOPT used and/or modified by NeTEx are incorporated into
Transmodel V6 to guarantee compatibility and coherence of standards.
Concepts covered in NeTEx Part 1 and 2 that relate in particular to long-distance train travel include;
rail operators and related organizations; stations and related equipment; journey coupling and journey
parts; train composition and facilities; planned passing times; timetable versions and validity conditions
and train routing restrictions.
In the case of long distance train access rights, NeTEx takes into account the requirements formulated
by the ERA (European Rail Agency) – TAP/TSI (Telematics Applications for Passenger/ Technical
Specification for Interoperability, entered into force on 13 May 2011 as the Commission Regulation (EU)
No 454/2011), based on UIC directives. These relate in particular to the B1 (Non Reservation Tickets),
B2 (Integrated Reservation Tickets) and B3 (Special Fares) along with various UIC Leaflets.
As regards the other exchange protocols for network and timetable exchanges, a formal compatibility is
ensured with TransXChange (UK), VDV 452 (Germany), NEPTUNE (France), BISON (The Netherlands)
and NOPTIS (Nordic Public Transport Interface Standard).
The exchange of data in NeTEx format can be undertaken using a variety of protocols. For example:
through dedicated web services, through data file exchanges, or by using the SIRI exchange protocol as
described in part 2 of the SIRI documentation. NeTEx adds additional services using the common SIRI
transport mechanism.
