You will find that the fares on the city line in the Merseytravel area are governed by the rate of inflation whereas bus fares are not unless they are supported by Merseytravel .

BBB, the train is less frequent mind. At £1.60 for an anytime day return, the train has been cheaper than one way on the bus for a long time so why these people are even bothering to go for the bus in the first place is baffling.

That and buses stop once every 500yards... Trains once every 2-3miles.. Minimum. So can be a long walk to the train station

You will always get that , Arriva just did it to ensure there profit margins didnt suffer in the long term , then the other big players .

Im surprised by now that the big bus players havent bought into the taxi market by now , would be an interesting idea .

Anyone like the idea of Arriva Taxi or Stagecoach Private Hire Taxis .
