# How is transport priced when attendance varies?

**Short answer:** Per vehicle or trip; choose the model that follows your pattern.

Charges are **per vehicle or per trip, not per head**, so an empty seat still costs. When attendance varies, choose a model that follows real use: **per trip** (billed monthly) when days vary, **per km on actuals** when routes change, and a **fixed monthly price per vehicle** only for stable routes. A fixed core plus per-trip extras is common.
