I completely agree, i have 2 routes in front of my house that can have me at the metrocentre in 36 mins. I would at this moment in time never use them. Its simply too expensive when you already have a car sat outside the house.
I genuinely do not believe that i would consider the bus to be a viable option into the metro/newcastle for leisure unless it was £1 each way, £2 at an absolute push. No way would that be commercially viable for any operator.
