French translation: limitation/restriction

/ Transportation/Travel
English term or phrase: fencing
"Fencing on purchases has been removed. The passenger can now buy the pass for same day departure."
That's all the context that I have with respect to a travel pass for long-distance bus travel.
Thanks in advance,

Explanation:
I think it is less a question of "fencing" passengers but of limit or restrict certain services with the purchase of the ticket.
