(2) Round-trip excursion fares.

(i) Fares for a round-trip excursion limited to a designated period of not more than three days may be established, without further notice, on posting a tariff one day in advance in two public and conspicuous places, in each place where tickets for such excursion are sold, and by filing a copy thereof with the commissioner.

(ii) Fares for a round-trip excursion limited to a designated period of more than three days and not more than 30 days or fares for a series of daily round-trip excursions, such series covering a period not exceeding 30 days, may be established on a like notice of three days.

(3) Fares for all other round-trip excursion must be established on a statutory 30 days' notice to the commissioner and the public, unless shorter time is allowed by the commissioner.

(d) The carrier's territory of operations as it appears on its certificate.

(e) All fares together with the names of the places between which they apply, arranged in a simple and systematic manner. If fares for any form of ticket are provided, the tariff must state any and all conditions applicable to their sale and use.

(f) Where applicable, a statement of transfer privileges showing the point or points where transfers are permitted, the extent to which such privileges are granted or allowed, and the fares associated with such transfers. Such information must be shown both for transfers between lines, routes, or services operated by one carrier and for transfers between lines, routes, and services operated by two or more carriers.

(g) Each tariff shall provide for and incorporate into any tariff schedules filed by the carrier a provision for the redemption of unused tickets substantially in the following form: Wholly or partly unused tickets will be redeemed at (specify location of office). The redemption value of such tickets will be determined as follows:

(1) Wholly unused tickets will be redeemed at the price paid thereof.

(2) The redemption value of partially used tickets will be the difference, if any, between the amount paid therefor and the lawful tariff charge for the service actually rendered.

(h) Any other information that the department may deem necessary in order to render the tariff complete and comprehensible to potential passengers.
