It should be noted, that with respect to concession fares, there has been limited fare increases over the previous decade resulting in Transperth concession fees remaining below 40 per cent of standard fares. Most cities across Australia set concession fares at 50 per cent of standard fees. Concession fare increases have occurred at a rate higher than inflation in order to set concession fares at 40 per cent of standard fares. It is important to note that 80.2 per cent of all public transport trips made by seniors and pensioners are now taken in off peak periods where no fee is applied. Also, school aged children retain entitlements to 50 cent fares to and from school. Main Roads (1) There have been no fees or charges increased by more than the inflation rate. (2) Not applicable. Department of Transport (1) A listing of all fees and charges identifying the level of increase for each fee and charge is attached [see tabled paper no ]. (2) The listing referred to in part (1) above identifies the actual percentage increase for each fee and charge.
