half fares

Child travel prices

Half fares are reduced-price tickets, typically 50% of the standard cost, offered to certain passengers on public transportation.

Children, seniors, students, and people with disabilities commonly qualify for half fares: Children under twelve ride at half fare.

The term appears both as a noun for the discounted price and for the passengers who pay it.
