Fares increase from 30th April

For Megarider Xtra users (like me), this will be the 2nd increase in just 4 months  Angry For Newcastle bus users as a whole, "We are cutting your services and increasing your fares. On the same day."

The Tyne and Wear Megarider has been scrapped.  You now have to buy a Megarider Plus if you wish to travel across the Busways region, which is an increase of £3.75 per week (+25%) or £10.50 per 4 weeks (1 month for Xtra) (+21%).

That's why people should just buy the "Smart zone" passes, £13.50 in Sunderland, and can use it on all the big companies buses.... least then if i miss the 3 for example, i can use it on the 56 - without paying extra.

Yeah, it's just a shame they didn't do multi-zone ones as they would be really handy. For example most people from North Tyneside would also want to travel in Newcastle as well but it is not possible with a Smartzone

It looks like it, i can see where Stagecoach are coming from though, not many people who buy a day ticket will actually go to Newcastle everyday so splitting them is better (in some sort).

On the email I received, it very specifically said it was Newcastle ONLY and that travel to and from South Shields and Sunderland would require a megarider plus. I can't imagine that wouldn't be true in the other direction!
