A positive article from the E&S re: Fare Rises

Interestingly, neither picks up on the fact that passengers will be able to use other operators buses...

The below statement, has since disappeared off the NX Fare Increase announcement too:

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.

Looks as though the announcement was a bit premature...

When will "Street" give his two pence worth on the topic.

It's £1.20 for confessions

To be fair, the Catholic Church is already worth some $30bn...

He won't as he and national express promised in 2022 that bus fares won't go up till 2025

Just to reiterate it was promised in September 2022, after everything went to ****, so Mr. Street best get some money together to pay the operators if costs have risen much higher than expected.

Yet another tory Pinocchio, who knew?

Anyway, just point a camera in his direction. That usually does the trick.

Info is on the website.

The way I see it...
NX are no longer selling their own (operator specific) tickets.
Customers will be directed to the nearest equivalent 'nBus' ticket and this will be accepted on all NX bus services including NX services outside the current nBus West Midlands boundary.
Other operators will continue to accept the nBus ticket as they usually do within the nBus West Midlands boundary.

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

Except Green Bus possibly the don't seem to accept N Bus tickets. Only there own singles and returns.

I had the email from NX Bus today, my monthly direct debit increases from £50 to £55 from next month.

To be honest, its no big deal to me, after all it's still cheaper than it was at the start of 2020 (was £60pm back then), but I can see why some people are concerned.

But at the end of the day, everything else has gone up in price in the last year or so, so this was kind of inevitable really.

Do they operate any other services apart from the bus services?
