off-peak fares

Discounted travel prices

Off-peak fares are reduced prices for travel during less busy times—typically midday, evenings, or weekends rather than rush hours.

Transit systems and airlines use them to spread demand more evenly: Off-peak fares make the afternoon train half the price of the morning commute.

The opposite is peak or rush-hour pricing.
