Title: Fares Query
Post by: Jay71 on January 04, 2024, 04:58:22 PM
Yesterday I caught the no10, which is operated by Kev's Travel. They wanted £1.50 from Five Ways to the Library of B'ham. Got told that they don't do £1.50 tickets on the 10. This is a great way to lose passengers

The driver said they do them on other routes, just not the 10

NX is £1.50 short hop. 
One of the drivers on the 94 told a man the other day who travelled into the City he can't travel all the way from Sladefield Road on a short hop. And this man just kept repeatedly saying i pay £1.50 everyday.
