This has been shared on my Facebook page just now, I presume it is an extract from a company memo?



"Blatant profiteering" indeed!  :D Once the news outlets get hold of this, it'll be like last year all over again, people getting outraged because the single fares went up, but overlooked the introduction of the off-peak Daysaver, as well as the decrease in Swift fares.

£1.50 short hop is much needed, though could be open to abuse like the people that ask for a city hop and go to wellhead lane!

Is there an official link yet?

Mixed feeling about the £1.50 fare and its wording. It's great for passengers to get a big reduction like that. But I personally think more people should be walking instead of a short bus journey. And no I'm not talking about the elderly or disabled or when it's raining or snowing. There's one particular stop that my bus goes past. It's like a fight to the death with the 17 buggies that are usually waiting there. Particularly on a Sunday. They could walk to town from there in 10minutes.

New fares are now advertised on 6112.

I would like the companys revenue team to be expanded.
Would like to see something similar to London where inspectors board buses in uniform or not, check tickets, get off, cross over the road, get on another bus and visa versa. Randomly targeting buses along the route as well as at 'gateway points'.
Would create a good revenue for the company in fines, deter smokers and deter future fare dodgers.

Totally agree. Also, very early morning but especially late night checks. It's a free for all on a lot of routes!

They need more power, it's just a slight inconvenience for fare Dodgers to walk the last few stops

I'm currently in Rotterdam
The inspectors here are mostly plain clothed, swarm the vehicle and take no shit, not even from tourists
It's quite funny to watch when people get caught

What's happening with the travel card prices I take it they will go up a couple of quid in January?

[markcf83]
