8. Concessions coding
A concession, to which the user is entitled, can be encoded on a personalised ŚKUP card. Because of that persons entitled to concessionary travels do not have to present any additional documents during inspections. In the case of paying for a concessionary ticket in the distance tariff, if a concession is recorded on the card, the system collects the amount corresponding to a concessionary ticket price. If there is no concession on the card, the system collects the amount equal to the price of a normal ticket (in this case, willing to buy a concessionary ticket, an appropriate option should be selected on the reader).
