Arriva North East: Service Suggestions
Arriva North East: Service Suggestions
A suggestion for extending the current zone boundaries.
Would it not be worthwhile to extend the Tyne and Wear Triple Ticket zone to cover the X2's route between Birtley and Newcastle. The Durham District Zone would remain as it is as it does seem to provide good value.
By extending the Tyne and Wear zone it would encourage people from Birtley and Low Fell who are traveling beyond Newcastle to the likes of Regent Centre, Benton Park View, Balliol and Quorum to use the X2 and then Arrivas North Tyneside services as opposed to buying a Network One or Buzzfare and changing at Gateshead or Newcastle city centre onto a metro or bus. Also I'd imagine anything which took passengers off the 21 and on to the X2 would be a bonus for Arriva.
