Cannot believe 5-25 are going up. Can I buy multiple of the same ticket on the app or not, considering buying load of 5-25 weekly tickets at the current price

I wonder if we'll get the same level of fanfare and press shots that the £2 fare got last week.

(08 Jul 2023, 3:51 pm)busmanT wrote I suspect it's the 22- to 25-year-olds who are buying them - with most companies they have to buy adult priced tickets.

There are probably reasons why 25 year olds buy adult tickets with other companies, I'd hazard a wild guess as it being because they are adults!

At this rate, the money that the local authorities have to spend by March 2025 won't be spent!
It doesn't matter that you have £164 million if you don't get round to spending it!!

Obviously this never helped when i tried to get on the metro and was laughed out of the metro station by the staff!!  Had to wait 15 minutes for a 27 and avoid stagecoach, metro and ferry for rest of day

Anyone think its worth trying to get £3 back from GNE as i could only use half of the transport i paid for? LOL

(16 Jan 2024, 12:19 pm)deanmachine wrote If you've still got the ticket absolutely, send some evidence and hopefully they can try and figure out why it happened.

(24 Feb 2024, 7:06 am)Rob44 wrote Was out in town last night. Had a few beers and decided to get bus from north end of high level bridge to gateshead metro.  The cost???? 1.90???

(25 Feb 2024, 9:47 pm)Malarkey wrote You saved 10p, Kudos to the driver in question as the large majority would've charged you £2.

(26 Feb 2024, 2:24 pm)Rob44 wrote so is the 1.90 a fare? as i sometime if I'm hung over get the bus from the penthousre to the metro and it can only be 3 stops and they always charge me £2??

(15 Apr 2024, 9:25 am)Retro Nero wrote I see that some of the company vehicles have new vinyls on the nearside window by the entrance door showing the range of fares and day tickets, which is the first time the £3.00.  21 & under Day tickets have been advertised onboard buses since the introduction of it last year.

(15 Apr 2024, 11:57 am)Rob44 wrote no sign of the tany and wear day ticket at £^, just the region wide one at £6.80.  An no matter how i try the adert foir these tickets still suggest you need to but the £6.80 one to use the ferry metro and train rather than the £6 one
