Newcastle to Felling - £2.90
Newcastle to Heworth - £3.80
Heworth to Bill Quay - £2.30
Heworth to Monkton Lane - £2.90
Heworth to Jarrow - £3.80
Lowest fare bar Newcastle to Gateshead - £2.10
I'd assume some of them were no-where near those rip off prices before the cap.
£2.90 for a single from Newcastle to Felling is extremely poor value for money. The Metro with a Pop card is £1.80 in comparison, or £2.80 without.

Hold on is newcastle to gates not 1.90???
So from my penthouse to heworth i would say its got to be the lowest fare available which is 2.10 or maybe 2.30. Surely the above would stop them from just saying that these fares will now be £3?? that a near 33% rise LOL
I;m going to take the day off on 2 jan as i think it will be carnage on the buses when puter check £2 down and get told you need to pay 50% more mate!
also just to add i always thought that when you by a ticket it should have had the original fare on then at the bottom how much you saved due to the cap.... like the supermarkets do
