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
Aye no arguments on the singles, but it's why you need to get people promoted upto weekly/4 weekly/season tickets. I'm not sure how many days they work but if they done that 5 days a week, and the 4 weekly ticket was only £70 per month, it's not a kick in the teeth off the same price anyway.
Now they've got an extra ticket so if they go to the pub, they can get the bus as they've already got their ticket and those extra journeys (if they did them) they'll be better off anyway and it's car journeys off the road.
Single Journey:
Upto £3 / Journey (National Cap)
One Mode:
£5 / Day
£20 / Week
£70 / 4 Weeks
£770 / Year
Multimodal:
£7.50 / Day
£30 / Week
£105 / 4 Weeks
£1145 / Year
Is pretty fair pricing imo; the multimodal being 50% more than the single mode if wondering where the pricing is coming from. Those using 1Z Network One tickets having an increased price as lets be honest the majority are probably single mode anyway.
(I'm aware there's some price increases in places like Sunderland but you gain access to Stagecoach or vice versa services as a compromise).
