We do now: https://www.arrivabus.co.uk/latest-news/...north-east
Summary:
From 1 January 2025 there will be price changes to some of our fares in the North East.
We’re simplifying our single bus fares, taking into account feedback from customers and stakeholders who previously expressed concerns over the complexity of our single fare structure. Our new single fare structure will instead only hold three price points, which we believe will be much simpler.
Most single fares in the region will therefore be priced at either £1.60 or £1.70 for short trips, £2.30 for slightly longer journeys and then anything beyond this will be capped at either £2.50 or £3.00 per journey (see full details below).
Return tickets will also be removed from sale, however all existing day, week and longer tickets will continue to be available with no change to price or zones.
- Essentially it's similar to Stagecoach, in that they aren't just hiking everything to the maximum they possibly can in the way that Go North East are.
