Usage

fare_estimate(
  min_zone,
  max_zone,
  journey_touch_on = NULL,
  journey_touch_off = NULL,
  journey_in_free_tram_zone = FALSE,
  travelled_route_types = NULL,
  user_id = determine_user_id(),
  api_key = determine_api_key()
)

Arguments

min_zone	Integer. Minimum zone travelled through.
max_zone	Integer. Maximum zone travelled through.
journey_touch_on, journey_touch_off	POSIXct or Character. Optionally filter results to a journey time. Values to both must be provided. Characters are automatically converted to datetimes, and are assumed to be given as Melbourne time.
