RE: Go North East - Latest
Those of you who live within reach of a Boxing Day bus should be grateful to GNE and Nexus for providing at least some services and the Metro. There's no national rail services or any buses for the vast majority of the population, but in most areas of the country very few businesses are open on Boxing Day so there'll only be buses in places where it's worth companies operating commercially or where a Transport Authority is willing to pay. And of course costs, especially drivers' pay, will be inflated. New Year's Day is odd as well with many national rail services running, but no buses or Metro - are less businesses open then or are overheads higher to run public transport? Maybe most people are too hungover to want to go out.
