This means most if their "improvements" focus around that. They forget or don't bother to even ask about those who only need to use one type, which is probably most people.
But surely this is less integrated? Scrapping the Day Rover and making fares substantially more expensive for many, surely means people will stick to one bus operator if they possibly can, to save money. Obviously this isn't always possible.
Genuinely not sure how many people only use one mode of transport, presumably far more bus-only than Metro-only, as not everyone has a local Metro station.
Arriva should (but probably won't) bring their day ticket options back. GNE and Stagecoach have their own day ticket products, although that could realistically change as well.
The day rover is surely part of an integrated transport network?
