Appeals

Please read the following information regarding your penalty fare notice and how to appeal

If you have been issued a penalty fare notice, you do have the right to appeal if you feel the penalty was issued unfairly.

Your appeal must show evidence that your ticket was purchased prior to boarding the tram. Failing to provide proof of ticket purchase which covers your entire journey may result in your appeal being denied.

Below are some examples and the likely outcome:

I was in a rush and didn’t have time to buy a ticket

You cannot appeal for this reason. Customers must always have a valid ticket before getting on a tram. If you fail to do this, you are liable for the penalty fare. You can pay for your penalty fare notice by clicking here.

I was buying my ticket on the app but my ticket didn’t load

You cannot appeal for this reason. Customers must always have a valid ticket before boarding a tram, this includes when using a mobile ticket. If you buy an app ticket on the tram, you are liable for the penalty fare. You can pay for your penalty fare notice by clicking here.

I bought my ticket after I boarded

You cannot appeal for this reason. All tickets must be purchased prior to boarding. If you buy an app ticket on the tram, you are liable for the penalty fare. You can pay for your penalty fare notice by clicking here.

My mobile phone battery died prior to inspection
