Looks like another round of fare increases underway: https://www.arrivabus.co.uk/latest-news/...north-east

From what I can see, increases for a similar area were already made in April and January.

No justifiable reason why they're pushing these increases either. Particularly as there's no mention of the a number of routes operating on common sections, day tickets or duos on there.

There's only the X4 I use from that list with any regularity and it's been mainly explorer, duo or family tickets when using it. Can't remember the last time I needed a single or return.

However if the X4 is going up, but the X3/X3A isn't, then any one with an ounce of common sense and travelling between points on a shared section of route is going to chose the latter.
Ditto with the 28 & 5 vs 28a & X93 on their common sections.

That's the only link I can see between these routes.

Not sure why someone travelling between say Middlesbrough and Redcar or Guisborough should pay a premium though.
Ditto if they're taking a short hop between Marske and Saltburn.

Didn't the Tees Valley 'ends' of these services get an increase back in April?

I suspect all this is, is finishing the job on the entire service.

For whatever reason, North Yorkshire didn't get an increase in April - maybe an agreement or restriction that has ended.

In which case, it needs communicating. Maybe not the exact details, but sharing what seems an arbitrary price increase for a random collection of routes, several weeks after a previous increase, isn't going to go down too well with the paying public.
