Some interesting facts revealed here, like, the average bus fare in the Tyne and Wear PTE area was 30p in the early 80s. I wonder what the average fare is now, and how it compares to the rate of inflation?

This series was broadcast before the deregulation of the bus industry; the synopsis is quoted below.

Great video. Very interesting to see another tpe in South Yorkshire and compare it to the Tyne & Wear system. They both worked, yet they were ripped apart just a few years later.
