X9 | X10 - Acquisition of interdeck coaches from Oxford Bus Company

RE: X9 | X10 - Acquisition of interdeck coaches from Oxford Bus Company
Not sure which post it was so I haven't quoted but you keep mentioning simplifying tickets and how GNE will be in a better position than Arriva etc but surely now is the time you really need to work together in certain areas and if you did overall it would be better for everyone.

For example in North Tyneside you've got the North Tyneside smartzone and then the Newcastle smartzone tickets. I'm not sure who sets them up but surely an offering of a ticket which covers both North Tyneside and Newcastle which is priced around the £19 - £21 mark a week would a good offer for quite a chunk of passengers with the potential of use to the Metro Centre as a bonus and try and get the Nexus buses on board aswell. You's are all going to struggle at the end of the day the biggest competitor in the area is the Metro and always will be. Least then you've got a bus vs metro war as right now if your the wrong area buses just aren't an option and it gives endless more oppertunities for some punters for example those in Holy Cross who could get the 41 to Wallsend then jump on the 22 to Newcastle for example or someone in Briardene can jump on the W3 and then get the first bus that turns up to Newcastle.

Right now it's very unattractive for a typical passenger as the only intermodal ticket are Network One tickets (which are impossible to buy) which costs £29.60 and you'd jump on the metro anyway and that isn't cheap nor value for money. It then get's even worse for a passenger wanting to travel from Cramlington to Tynemouth for example which involves 2 operators and there's no intermodal ticket at all. Surely these are the places where things could be improved. I'm not sure how much say you have in Smartzones, but they'd be popular if they were expanded for the whole of the North of Tyne like that exists down Tees Valley which covers pretty much everywhere for those that need it as long as it's priced above the individual Arriva and your offers, no-one is really losing out. I know Teesside isn't mentioned much on here but the Tees Valley tickets are excellent value for money imo considering you travel all the way from Darlington to Saltburn and Hartlepool.
