Ye, luckily i live/work in Sunderland so i buy the smartzone pass, which is £13.50 as i use both Stagecoach and Go North East to and from work, £13.50 is worth it.
When i was studying at Newcastle College, i had a Network one pass and that would cost me, £220 for a term pass, which was well worth it.
I'm glad i don't work else where in the NE as the price would shoot up.
Maybe people will use the new X24 when it starts, as it'll be cheaper than GNE and the Metro haha
Edit:
I agree on Eldon Square, it's one the worst bus stations built, the roads in Newcastle are a mess.
