I 'm sure i saw an add for the NEtwork 1 ticket for unlimited travel in tyne and wear for under 3.5 a day? Is that not reasable?
Stop making it difficult and complicated to use public transport, people already don’t want to use buses, don’t give them even more excuses not to.
Out of the three you mention, who would you be more inclined to suggest are the stumbling block? Nexus who's basic job is to integrate transport in tyne and wear, the Gateshead chief who basically got elected on getting the transport system sorted or the operators... who advertise there own tickets above multi operator tickets and in this covid era of losing money probably don't what to share...... hmmm
