I'm sure there's a few but I can't really see why anyone would want to use it end to end when the Metro is much much quicker and I don't believe Stagecoach Sunderland Day Tickets are valid if I'm right?
Money.
£2.50 single each way on the bus vs £4.70 on Metro. Also, if you don't live on the route, the Dayrider Plus is cheaper than the Day Rover.
