Info is on the website.

Let's hope the numbers don't drop to much can't see many people using the buses after this
I assume you haven't noticed that from the same date of the price increases, passengers will now also be able to use any operator services / any time....

Did you know your ticket now gives you more?

Whilst some fares will be increasing, the changes mean you will have much more flexibility to travel on any bus, regardless of operator at any time, anywhere. The ticket range is also being simplified making it even easier to use the bus, especially for new customers.

Does this include DD bus passes too? If so, does that mean a new card will be sent out?
Local Routes: 002, 39/39A, X21, 46, 76.
Localish Routes: 18, 23, X22.

DD is on the list if you look, and why do you need a new card?

And yet NX prices are still one of the cheapest in the country.

The day ticket price is still cheaper than the £5 fare I used to have to pay from Atherstone to Bedworth on Stagecoach in the 2000s.

Also, NX are still reviewing whether they are going to stay as part of the government scheme (according to that message). I half expect this is to cover the increase to £2.50 that is coming in November so there is still some subsidy from the government.

Manchester Day ticket £5, so still 50p more expensive even with the high costs of franchising

This was talked about previously about flexible tickets meaning if the 16 Birmingham to Hamstead NX no shows your pass should now be accepted on diamond

Is the day saver useable on all companies that run in the midlands?

That's what it says:

It's inevitable the prices would rise given the bus strike but it's still very cheap. Compared to down here it's great value, here a First West of England day ticket is £7.  A First West of England day plus ticket is £12 but it covers a large area. Thank god we still have the £2 bus cap as at least 2 journeys is only £4.

Why would a new card be needed to be issued though?
