children and public transport

[The[cookie]Doctor]

Wasn't sure where to put this as it doesn't really belong under home either!
I was just curious as to what people would say is the generally accepted age to start buying children passes on public transport? I am can't find anything on viclink but maybe I'm not looking hard enough?

Taken from the V/Line website:

Children 0-3 years - Children under 4 years old travel free on public transport in Victoria.
4-16 years - Entitled to concession fares on public transport across Victoria.

DS is 4.5 and I haven't thought about paying for a ticket for him, I thought it was about 6?

ZF - oops! lucky I don't use it very often My mum has paid for his trips on VLine, but I thought it was a VLine thing, said I to myself until now, without ever checking the MetLink policy

In ACT it is school age (so about 5 or 6yrs). I used to feel a bit strange taking up 4 seats on the bus with only one ticket.

In Sydney you need to pay for children aged 4 and above
