Go North East: Service Suggestions v2
(01 Jan 2024, 3:43 pm)L469 YVK To be honest, I think the big issue we're battling is the Uber / PCP Rangey Brigade.
Could have a fantastic bus or metro service from an estate into Newcastle....but convincing people in that category yo make the switch is another thing. High car ownership / low deprivation areas are always going to be an uphill struggle.
Prime example although not a housing estate....someome staying at the Village Hotel and wants to head into Newcastle for a few drinks........
- 309 to the City in less than 30 minutes and £2 per head
- 23:45 last bus back to the Hotel
Yet.....see plenty of Nearby, Uber, Blueline cars pulling up outside.
To be fair.....GNE should really be pushing this from their end and engaging businesses. When Sam Fender and Pink was on......plenty of taxis being phoned but no direction to a bus stop literally across the road.
