Pricing
Judging by those prices it's just as cheap to either by a Daysaver in those zones or a Day Ticket.
I do think some tickets are overpriced e.g. Red/Purple Day Ticket is £6.10 now I think, it becomes even more expensive when going into County Durham as you have the Price of your Day Ticket and a Standard Single at the Boundary. Unless you buy a 3 Zone+ Buzzfare ticket for £7.65.
I think GNE/Arriva/Stagecoach need to come together with Nexus and find a Solution and have a Reasonable set ticket price for Singles and Have just the one Day Ticket thats does all like the DayRover/Explorer but for a cheaper price, and scrap this zonal system we currently have.
or
Have a Price Freeze where operators once they put prices up are not allowed to increase them again in that financial year. Because GNE seem to up there prices everytime they buy new buses to cover the cost of Fuel etc. Myself Personally I Bike/Walk everywhere unless i'm going to Sunderland/Newcastle for example or if the Weather is quite bad.
