I've said many times in this topic that if you're just doing quick hop on-hop off journeys, buses aren't exactly the best value for money, but when you compare it to the full price of running a car (insurance, tax, fuel, depreciation etc.) they're still not 'expensive'.
Sure, if you already have a car then it may seem expensive, but if you don't have one, then it's still cheaper to pay the single ticket price, and if you use it regularly, it's waaay cheaper to buy a multi use ticket.
I've had this argument for years. Gateshead to QE hospital is or was priced differently to whichever service you use. X1. 25 28or 56.
Fair enough it's been a couple of years since I did the journey, but when I did, I was quoted about going to Tescos and being offered cheap bread or quality bread. And it's the same thing on a bus apparently. Are there any other buses go Barley Mow to Chester, if so are they the same or different.
