Title: Avantix Traveller PC Program
Post by: Btline on February 26, 2009, 21:18:26
Why does this program throw up some funny fares (e.g. ^999.99 and ^0.05) for some routes?

And is there a version of a fares software for the Mac?

ISTR it was for cases where there were special Child Fares, and it was to stop them being sold to Adults:
