(07 Aug 2022, 11:08 am)omnicity4659 Tight bastards! Just an unnecessary charge that won't make the slightest difference...I mean 75p x 52(weeks) x 1000 (drivers) = £39K

75p is nothing, one trip out a month by your spouse and it pays for itself, you have to be really tight to complain about 75p a week, if they dont need it they dont have to get one but considering you can get 1 partner pass and up to 3 children passes it really is good value

GNE is indeed 75p per week (one partner and up to two child passes). Nothing in the grand scheme of things.

Well, with the demise of Yellow Buses, it's clear that Go South Coast are doing a much better job at recruiting drivers than GNE are. GNE actually seem to be losing drivers faster than they're gaining them.
Though if Arriva were to hypothetically go bust, would the majority of drivers turn to GNE, or would they flock to Stagecoach instead?
