Making it even cheaper for a day out and incentivising travel for families doesn't sound overly complicated to me.
If there's adults with the kids. Kids are free.
If there's not. Kids pay £1.
Dead easy.
When this was done last year, I recall all the major bus operators plus Metro committed to the same deal. So customers knew it to be the case A to B.
If it's not rolled out across the others now, then kids either go free or not depending on their post code, where they're going to, or which forms of transport their journey requires. What happens on the Coast Road for example, where your journey to town might be free for the kids, but you're charged £1 each on the way back?
Ideally, this will be rolled out across the board again, but then it seems a bit of a waste when they've spent money on the Get around for £1 marketing campaign.
