Fare Calculator

 * Bobter B. Ot wants to go from Downtown to another stop in Downtown.
 * Therefore he decides he wants a single-zone ticket.
 * Due to the fact that he is 49, he calculates his base price for 18-65.
 * Because he is using a Black Route bus he starts with a base price of $6.00.
 * Due to the fact that he is carrying a 17 lbs. baggage he sets a baggage min. price as $0.50 and the max price of $4.00.
 * Because he is 49, the price in the 18-65 limit for 13-24 lbs is $4.00.
 * He doesn't have a gold card.
 * Therefore, the price for Bobter B. Ot is $10.00.
