Public Transport – Network and Timetable Exchange (NeTEx) – European Fares Information Profile (EFIP)

Scope

The European Fare Information Profile (EFIP) will:
- Detail the most common fare structures and products found in multimodal mobility context (flat, distance-based, zonal, time-based, yield-managed fares, occasional journeys, account-based, etc.)
- Define a modelling methodology and interoperability rules for all above-mentioned fare structures and products
- Identify which NeTEx concepts and attributes are relevant for the standard representation and exchange of fare products
- Specify data exchange protocols ensuring compatibility with other data exchange formats defined in CEN TC 278 WG3.

The functional scope of the CEN/TS will cover all modes of public transport in urban, suburban, and rural contexts. It will also cover long-distance rail as a component of a pan-European multimodal trip.
