[TT90]

Forgive the silly question. Is there a link to the map or more information on this please ?
Can't seem to find anything on NX website ?
Thanks,

NXWM have confirmed on twitter that it is launching next week to those still a bit skeptical

No you asked them as if what you had read on here was fiction. Don't think an NX member of staff would make this up to be honest. Why can't people just accept it and be happy they're being offered cheaper fares.

I swear some people on here would complain even if they could catch buses for free!

This is news to me no mention of it in garage, so does this mean the Sandwell and Dudley daysaver only valid in this area if so what a nonsense what's stopping somebody traveling to Birmingham with it.

Seems I had pissed in your cornflakes. Sorry I had spoken. I won't bother next time.

I was only asking on behalf of the skeptics, confirming things. I bet your the kind of person who believes the viewpoint of the BBC, as opposed to questioning everything you see on the news

Like parking tickets

Except there are certain things you can believe. I.e A Pensnett driver explaining a S&D low fare zone, why would he lie about it?!

Exactly the same things stopping them using it beyond the area that currently stops idiots using the short hop ticket for long distance...
ie nothing beyond honesty

This is what the Managing Director has to say about it in his weekly newsletter


This weekend, we're introducing a bold new promotion in Sandwell & Dudley, creating a new local daysaver for just three pounds. There's also a local weekly ticket which we'll sell on bus and via our app, making it easier than ever to become a regular bus user. 

The aim of this promotion is to get occasional travellers making more trips, and encourage new people to try us. 

We're supporting this with the biggest marketing campaign we've ever done in that part of the network - on social media, bus stops, vehicles, online and in the press. 

If these promotions and price cuts work we'll roll out similar deals across the business.

He didn't mention deliberately putting more money in the fare box, he means  giving operators like Diamond who are supposed to give changes but odd drivers don't,  claiming they have none to pocket the overs

First West of England offer change tickets so if a driver doesn't have the change you get a ticket for that amount which can be either refunded at a travel shop or used as part payment of a future fare. Is this commonplace across the network?

We don't have these at First Midland Red (Midlands) currently.
