RE: Pricing
I think pricing within Tyne & Wear Is generally good. I think it is the rest of the region where it's lacking. I live in County Durham and the lack of any decent ticket where I live is a joke. I think either each local authority, T&W, C. Durham, Northumberland & Teeside all need there own transport card similar to the Nexus Pop/Network 1 system or more favourably a region wide card system, possibly with use on bus/metro/train. I think Zones are just one of them things really, no matter how hard you try there's always going to be a problem with a zone somewhere. I mean take the current borders of GNE's Buzzfare, South Hetton-Easington Lane, I don't know a specific fare but with one being a red zone and in Tyne & Wear and one being in turquoise zone and in County Durham, there's no DayTicket or anything suitable so going across to Sunderland from here is very costly, best option likely to be a two Zone Buzzfare at £6.10! But yet you can go to Middlesbrough for £4.65? It's a bit silly thinking about it like that.
