RAILWAY CONCESSIONS
CHEAP TRIPS FOR FAMILIES It is not generally known that the Railway Department grants a liberal concession to parents travelling, accompanied by their children, for journeys of not less than 20 miles. The price of three adult second-class return fares provides tickets for father, mother, and all their children under 16 years of age. The following examples are typical of the substantial savings made possible by the concession rate: Two parents and four children aged 14, 13, 10, and 9 years may make the return journey between Wellington and Napier at a cost of £6 5s 6d, saving £4 3s 8d on the ordinary fare. A family of the same size travelling between Christchurch and Dunedin would pay £4 16s 8d less than the ordinary rates. The provision of such a liberal concession will doubtless be a boon to many families who would otherwise be debarred from the benefits of an occasional holiday.
