Go North East: Service Suggestions v2
(03 Jun 2023, 12:08 pm)Storx If I'm correct, it's reducing it to the 'correct value' due to lower number of passes used isn't it?
But even then, I'd argue it's probably a good spend keeping the rate up rather than a cheap fix. Long term it's just going to mean subsidised services from them so no real gain.
Obviously what Arriva would've done if they kept the rate up is unknown but it arguably can't be worse than what it is.
Now whether that should've been spent by central government, councils, the BSIP fund or what not is a political debate that could be had but buses should be treat as a public service rather than a business imo.
