Re: New logic on Metcard

: I would be interested to see the exact wording of Regulation 206.

206. Ticket to be validated

     A person using a ticket which requires machine 
     validation must validate that ticket on boarding 
     a rail or road vehicle on which an operational 
     ticket validating device is located or before 
     entering a designated area.

Penalty: 5 penalty units. 

Ticket Offences 
 3100  Fail to produce evidence of concession $100
 3102  Expired ticket $100
 3103  Transfer ticket to another person $100
 3104  Make journey without valid ticket $100
 3105  Remain in vehicle or on premises without ticket having
       been requested to leave $100
 3106  Unable to produce valid ticket while making journey $100 

Nothing about validating a ticket (as an offence)

"designated area" means an area within rail premises 
designated by the relevant passenger transport company 
by means of signs in or near the area as an area for 
being on which a ticket is required

"rail vehicle" means a vehicle that operates on 
or uses a railway track for the carriage of 
passengers or freight and includes a train,
carriage and wagon

"road vehicle" means any vehicle propelled by 
any form of motive power that is used or intended 
for use by a passenger transport company or rail 
freight operator for the carriage of passengers 
or freight on any road and includes a tram and 
light rail vehicle that operates on or uses a 
tramway track

"ticket" means a ticket, pass, symbol or other 
thing issued to a person entitling that person 
to travel on a rail or road vehicle or be in 
adesignated area

"periodical ticket" means a ticket valid for 
more than one day

That should keep every busy for a while.
