Just a thought, but I wonder if GNE are regretting going back to moquette seats since the leather ones are a hell of a lot easier to sanitise

They more likely worrying about having enough money to keep operating and making numerous plans for the future rather then what seats they have. |

I didn't even know they had set that up. It will be interesting to see where the excess money goes ( if any)? Im sure there was a massive story about a company ( could have been lothian) making over a million per years for not giving change.

There’s a few bus companies over the 20+ years only take exact fares only with no change given

The biggest gripe when I was a regular user of buses back in the day (ANE 308 & GNE 309/310) was when people often legged it last minute for the bus and ended up holding the bus up by paying a £1.50 fare with notes. And by the time they were processed and onboard, the next person would then come legging it and repeating the same process again. That then made the bus later and later. |

Could work in the NE if bus companies take it forward and do some research on there fare structure, it will stop loopy passengers getting on with a £20 note for a small paying fare, plus with contactless being around for awhile now plus bus companies own day and week tickets.
Also less time staying idle at bus stops. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Any excess money is being donated to charity, but this isn’t something being widely publicised during the crisis as we don’t want to encourage payment with notes as these have to be handled by colleagues when cashing in (gloves are being provided).

This was back in my childhood, so significantly more than 20 years ago! |

I'm surprised they aren't promoting PAYG Pop cards at the minute, seems like it would be a great time, especially for those without a contactless card but can make payments online
