What they really need is to bring the fare calculator back (which MG says is coming back... at some point) with the ability to show the 'best ticket'

Ideally, the journey planner would act as a fare calculator as it takes into account split journeys

Fares were supposed to be in the Bus Open Data Service by 7th January this year, but I believe it was extended until 31st December due to 'COVID challenges'. See this link.

Hopefully this will see some independently developed/ran services to work out fares. I think I read somewhere that bustimes were working on displaying this data.
