   Department, will be issued to scholars and students exclusively engaged in their studies, not in receipt
   of salary or emolument, at the following fares:—

   transferable, and are available for use by the holders only when travelling to and from school for the
   purpose of receiving tuition; if used for any other purpose the tickets will be forfeited.

3. Surcharge.—Where a school observes terms which do not coincide with the opening and closing
   dates as approved by the Education Department for the district in which such school is situated, a
   surcharge will be made in respect of any school season ticket the currency of which commences before
   or expires after the approved dates as the case may be. Surcharges will be payable at the following
   rates:—

Per Week or Fraction of a Week
Outside of the School Term as
Fixed by the Education Depart-
ment.

For students and scholars exceeding 20 years of age the surcharge payable will be based on
one-thirteenth of the value of the ticket for each week or fraction of a week outside of the school term
