Pricing
(11 Sep 2014, 4:29 pm)Dan I disagree here - if a service passed through a zone but didn't actually offer customers the opportunity to board or alight in this zone, I wouldn't be too keen on having to pay for a day ticket including that zone.
In the case of the Tyne Tees Xpress, there is a stop there which can be used. It is used, which has been proven in previous posts by our members on Teesside in the past regarding this bus stop, so I can't see what the issue is with the charge for 3+ Zones?
Testo's Roundabout is on the border of Boldon, which is in the Red Zone, so why shouldn't passengers have to pay for a 3+ Zone day ticket?
I can't see why this would be perceived as anything other than simple - the company gives a zonal map on their website, shows the zonal colours for that service in their timetables, etc...
Exactly - nothing is confusing.
In this case, the pricing structure is simple to understand...
It goes without saying that the company is likely to design their zonal structure in such a way that they generate more profits, but if a customer asks why they have to buy a 3+ Zone ticket on the 8 and not the 78, they're not going to turn round and say that they want more profits, are they?
