Hopefully, that will be changed in the future with day ticket type caps being introduced if you use more than one route. Looks like they're doing this around Newcastle & Gateshead for the time being (makes sense) although it would be interesting if it expands to certain routes only first. Then there may be confusion where you'd have to wait for a particular service. For example, at the Metrocentre going into town, if a 6 turns up but the only routes accepting Tap on Tap off are the Tyne Valley 10 routes, there could potentially be some confusion.

I would imagine it's being gradually increased to iron out any issues prior to a full launch. The system has potential, especially when a full rollout is complete, but we're really 17-18 years behind already. Oyster was launched back in 2003.
