English translation:overcharching the passengers
Explanation:
"... povreda putnika u izračunu cijene" would amount to charging them too much; I would assume that "povreda" is about hurting their wallets ...

If there are many prices/tariffs that could be applied for the same journey, the system should automatically choose the cheapest.

Notes to answerer
Asker: I cannot be that descriptive/specific, because the same word is used later as " povreda putnika u korištenju/zlouporabi kreditnih kartica" I need to find the same term for both

Pa da to bi bio taj detriment, disadvantage of charging them too much; putnicima ide na stetu.
I Daryov prilog isto tako odgovara, vrlo su bliskog znacenja u ovom kontekstu.

Example sentence(s):
  • The current provisions tend to incentivise cancellations to the detriment of passengers (because the problem cannot be remedied within a very short deadline).
