Parkside to Seaham, £2.10 single for an 8 minute journey but Parkside to Sunderland City Centre, £2.30 for a 40 minute journey. 2 miles vs 8 miles the difference 20p! I appreciate that actually quite a few fares were decreased in various schemes and fare caps, which is good news but I still think it seems like you’re ripped off just travelling locally. A similar short hop fare should be introduced.
It's £1.90 to from Morpeth - Stobhill which is only a mile and £3.10 to go from Morpeth - Pegswood which is 2 mile. I am suprised tey did not introduce a £1 short hop fare. Probs didn't think about it.
