(05 Feb 2022, 12:05 am)Ambassador wrote £3.00 from Ouston to Birtley?! Jesus wept.They've effectively capped the fares now. So it's not that.
How on earth do they justify Birtley Newcastle Bank to Newcastle being £3.10 but a 5 minute walk to the Angel costing just £2.30…bizarrely…if you travelled 3.3 miles down Durham Road to the Swallow Hotel you pay £2.30 to Newcastle.
No wonder absolutely nobody who can has a choice avoids a bus like the plague, it’s utterly horrendous value for the basic leisure user. Get an Uber.
Obviously realised the ridiculous fares were putting people off, so decided to do something about it.
Possibly too late, but we will never know.
