This tool calculates the optimal number of tickets you need for your journey.
How to Use the Ticket to Ride Calculator
This calculator allows you to compute the total cost for multiple train tickets based on several parameters.
Instructions:
- Enter the length of the route in kilometers in the “Route Length (km)” field.
- Enter the number of tickets you wish to purchase in the “Number of Tickets” field.
- Enter the base fare per ticket in the “Base Fare per Ticket” field.
- Enter the service charge percentage in the “Service Charge (%)” field.
- Click the “Calculate” button to get the total cost in the “Result” field.
How It Calculates:
The calculator multiplies the base fare by the number of tickets to get the total fare. It then calculates the service charge based on this total fare and adds it to the total fare to get the final cost.
Limitations:
- The calculator assumes that the service charge is a percentage of the total fare.
- Ensure that all fields are filled with valid numerical values; otherwise, the calculation will not proceed and an alert will be shown.
