Reversing the decline in passenger numbers
Reversing the decline in passenger numbers
(11 Oct 2021, 7:48 am)Rob44 I hate to disagree with you Andreos and this is only from a personal perspective but if i could get to and from work.... about a 3-4 mile journey for say £10 a week i would actually put up with the waiting around, dirty buses, noisy kids and bad weather. Its the fact that if i were to buy singles it would cost me almost £10 per day and if i got a day ticket it would cost me £25 + per week. Especially with the cost of petrol! Obviuosly a direct bus to where i work would make it even more enticing but for me, and a quick poll in my office suggests the current cost of bus travel even when you purchase weekly and 4 weekly tickets puts people offIt really depends on where you live and work, if you travel in one 'zone', the prices are reasonable, if you travel from the end of one zone to the end of another, it's also reasonable. It's when you're in the middle that it gets pricey.
