Anyone relying on onward travel outside of the Tyne and Wear boundaries would be limited to the Network One All Zones Plus option, which is £34 quid a week - no 4-weekly, monthly or annual options available. That'd be a 40% increase on GNE's All Zones ticket.
It's becoming crucial now that we have some sort of unified fares and ticketing network, but until that happens, ticket acceptance should be part of the tender for the benefit of customers that would otherwise be impacted.
Maybe, but the feeling where i live is that GNE have really shafted the customer, they've burned a lot of bridges and the "consultation process" they had was just lip service too which has riled a lot of customers.. If people don't make a stand what's to say Arriva and stagecoach wont do the same thing.
As I've said i was using the bus to get to and from work and it was only 4.10p.... a network one would be 7.80?? Maybe just getting 2 single and getting a lift back on the evening is an option
