We need the complete opposite, you should be able to buy a ticket which enables you to get any bus, any local train and any Metro, in zones similar to Arriva's Triple Tickets and/or GNE Buzzfare without it costing an absolute fortune like Network One does, especially outside of T&W.

Who runs the bus should be irrelevant.

This forum is completely riddled by it but it should be Public Transport (of any kind) with walking and cycling facilities vs Car not GNE vs Arriva vs Stagecoach vs Metro vs Train vs Cycling vs Walking vs Car.

The car will always win in the second scenario.

What I mean is someone coming along and bringing new ideas to the table. Rather than a route along Dalton Park > Sunderland corridor; maybe they go Seaham > Doxford > Hospital > Sunderland. It'd give gne a bit of a kick up the backside hopefully. Anyway, most people I see using buses are using singles and returns.
