Having had a look through some of the core tickets, the increases seem to to be a bit bizarre to say the least. Increases ranging from 1.96% to a whopping 13.3%, with the under 18s dis-proportionally affected. Oh and at a time we're told that inflation has fallen to the lowest point in the last year at 2.5% - http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-43808716
18 & Under tickets -
Day ticket rises from £3.80 to £4.00 (5.26%)
Weekly ticket rises from £15.50 to £17.00 (9.67%)
Monthly ticket rises from £60.00 to £68.00 (13.3%)

I can see the situation now.
The boss, sticks a fezz on and wanders around the office asking colleagues a question.

'Pick a number, any number'.
The others, thinking it's all part of an elaborate magic show pick a random selection of numbers, as instructed by their Moroccan hatted funny person.
