"One message said: “I have had to stop using the buses as it is now cheaper for me to drive. I live in Bedlington and work at Metrocentre, and it was costing £9.30 a day for an Explorer North East which would mean a quarter of my wages went on bus fares."
That's ridiculous to be fair. I've just taken a look, and can't find a cheaper method of doing it. Arriva run an hourly 84 service on behalf of Nexus, but the first one is 10.11.
It is worth noting that the price the customer had to pay would be almost half the price under QCS.
Money worries, Mr. Souter?
