So, Uber announced that they are now selling NX West Midlands tickets. The thing is, the day ones are labelled Daysaver £4.50, however the Daysaver was withdrawn last year.

I asked NX Twitter which ticket it was, i.e the Daysaver Extra or the nBus, as that replaced the operator only day tickets and got this response...

So the biggest question is... is the ticket a Daysaver Extra, or the nBus, or a completely different ticket type?


All opinions and onions mentioned on here are mine and not those of any employer, current, past, present or future, or presented as fact, unless I prove it otherwise.

That is the £4.50 question. To which noone will know the answer unless someone actively buys the ticket and tries to use it outside the nBus area.

The other question is how much of this ticket price do NX Bus (or TfWM) actually see, after Uber have taken their cut in 'commission'?
My locals:
2 - Birmingham to Maypole | 3 - Birmingham to Yardley Wood
11A/C - Birmingham Outer Circle | 27 - Yardley Wood to Frankley
76 - Solihull to Northfield | 169 - Solihull to Kings Heath
