Can u check what date they're going up, when you're on the bus?
The fare revisions come into effect from Wednesday 6th May 2015.
Go North East doesn't tend to summarise the fare revisions in news articles on its website. Those who buy tickets online or use the M-Ticket app are usually contacted directly, and all other customers are informed by notices on-board buses (which clearly works - as Tom noticed fares were being revised straight away). These notices have been on-board most buses for the past week or so. The 'Our Tickets' section of Go North East's website will presumably be updated on Tuesday ready for the fares coming into effect the following day.
BuzzFare 1 Day (On The Bus)
1 Zone: £4.75 to £4.85
2 Zone: £6.20 to £6.30
3+ Zone: £7.70 to £7.80.
BuzzFare 7 Day (On The Bus)
1 Zone: £18.50 to £18.90
2 Zone: £24.50 to £24.90
3+ Zone: £32.00 to £32.50
Buying 'off the bus' remains to be the cheaper option, loading directly onto the company's Key Card or mobile app, opposed to having a paper ticket.
Most fares remain unchanged, and those tickets which have been revised are typically a 10p increase, so still offer very good value for money. Operators up and down the country have revised their fares over the past few weeks, and I've noticed there are some rather more significant price increases elsewhere.
