(Yesterday, 11:52 am)Storx wrote Aye agreed, personally I wish we'd scrap the £2.50 subsidy and instead replace it with a £5 regionwide bus day ticket or £5 regionwide metro/rail day ticket, with the £7.50 regionwide bus/metro/train ticket staying, with new weekly/monthly/yearly tickets around them and Metro Season Tickets/Network One/Individual Bus and whatever nonsense exists all being scrapped.

Let's be honest the vast majority of people aren't using 1 bus a day. If you have a monthly ticket for work then you'd much likely choose to use it on the weekend, as you have it already imo and it also doesn't punish people who live on hub and spoke networks like Washington. 

Right now anyone who travels regularly is getting punished hard for Bob who goes to the football once a week. It's stupid.

How!!!  I have a magpie mover!!!

On a serious note i sometimes get the bus to town to go on the ale and get a taxi back as last bus is around 11pm

Also a couple of my staff get bus to work from Birtly but a lift home so adding 100% to there daily travel cost wont go down well with them
