Fare rise and ticket changes July 2023

Can I buy an Adult Daysaver with Card or would I still tap on every bus and show the ticket as I will be getting NX buses only as I'm sure with waiting times of the Train Vs the bus it would take the same amount of time from Walsall to Lichfield and the bus is cheaper

Yes, just tell the driver what ticket you want BEFORE tapping your card on the reader, only do so once the display on the reader prompts you.

That's a mistake a lot of people make.

OK I assume it will prompt me when the Driver prints the ticket so I will pay attention to that.

Question for mobile users.

Is there any ticket currently available, that is still operator specific?

The reason is, someone just tried to use a mobile phone ticket on the 326, & appeared to be refused.

Ticket holder or driver not clued up, or something Im not aware of?

Wb didn't you ask the passenger or the driver whilst you was there 🤔

Was it in date? Was it a screenshot?

I dont know, but I had to help someone out a few months ago, as he didnt know he could use his Nbus mobile ticket on Diamond, as he'd been paying on them, but using the phone on Nx, until I pointed it out to him.

(If it had been the Diamond driver I normally talk to, when they drive the route, I'd would've asked them, but it wasn't!)
