Zone Pricing
Also known as: zone rates, zone-based pricing
Zone pricing sets fixed fares between defined geographic areas, so any trip from one zone to another costs the same regardless of the exact addresses.
It makes quoting fast and predictable, which is why it is standard for airport work. The trade-off is reduced precision at zone boundaries, where two trips of very different length can carry the same fare.
