It's not right people are hit financially just because the metro doesn't cover most of Tyne and Wear. I think a 3 zone single is £3.20 which will get you from south hylton to the airport. 90p less than the said transfare.
How can that be justified a) with the price of the 3 zone single and b) compared to the price of a Day Rover?
I would love to see the breakdown/split and what proportion is "metro" fare and what proportion is "bus" fare.
