It's £5.70 from whichever station you purchase it at, and is essentially an All Zones DaySaver: https://www.nexus.org.uk/news/item/speci...sunderland
There's also a video telling passengers that it's the best ticket to purchase: https://twitter.com/My_Metro/status/1531660617345404928
When I was at Heworth earlier though, I noticed there was also a board advertising this, despite it *not* being the cheapest option for anyone travelling from that station. A Zone B+C DaySaver would cover the journey.
I'm surprised they're blatantly misleading customers like this. I wonder how many non-regular customers would use the Metro and purchase this ticket, literally thinking it is the best (or even only) option for the journey. I know Metro are skint at the minute, but come on...
The shyster decease must be spreading like Covid. Perhaps we all need to put out wallets and purses on lockdown to stop the spread of shystering and to save our money from being swindled from us by nefarious public transport operators.
